Add resources to an assignment

Add assignment-specific links or private files from the Project tab while the assignment is Draft or Staged. A resource can support the whole project or exactly one milestone.

Resources belong to this assignment copy. Scope each link or private file to the whole project or to one milestone so students encounter it in the right place. Select the image to enlarge it.
  1. Open the Draft or Staged assignment.
  2. Select Project.
  3. Find Resources.
  4. Select Manage resources.
  5. Select Add a resource.

Existing entries show whether they are Project-wide or attached to a named milestone.

Paste a link or upload a private file, then add a title and explain why it is here for students. Choose Project-wide or one milestone before saving. Select the image to enlarge it.
  1. Choose Paste a link or upload a private file.
  2. Add a clear Title.
  3. Explain Why it’s here so students know how the material supports the work.
  4. Choose the resource Type.
  5. Choose Project-wide or One milestone. If you choose one milestone, select it.
  6. Save the resource.

One resource cannot be attached to several milestones in the current version. Add separate entries when the same material needs different placement.

Open Manage resources, then use the action on the resource.

  • A link can change its URL, title, description, type, and scope.
  • A file can change its descriptive details and scope. To replace the uploaded file or convert between a link and file, delete the resource and add it again.
  • If its milestone is later removed, Rectangle keeps the resource and makes it project-wide.

Archived assignments are frozen. Owners and co-teachers can manage resources; assistants can read them but cannot change them.

Teacher-generated Student print documents include the student-safe resource list. Links include a QR code and text pointer; private files state that Rectangle sign-in is required.

The student handout carries the project directions and resources students need, while omitting rubric weights, teacher notes, and completed-project results. Select the image to enlarge it.

The authenticated Student workspace resource doorway is not available yet. Do not rely on the in-app student workspace as the delivery path; use the Student print document when students need these resources now.
