Changing and collecting multiple shared links in Drive

These directions allow you to change and collect many links at once to share quickly rather than going into each Google Doc individually. It is a productive, time-saving strategy to encourage teachers to utilize breakout rooms and virtual group work more. This works for any collaborative Google tool such as Slides, Jamboard, and Sheets.

  1. Make multiple copies of the Google Doc (or in this example, Jamboard) in a folder

  2. Select all of the Google Doc by clicking and dragging with the mouse.

  3. Click Share button to change settings for all Google Docs

    1. Change sharing settings for all Google Docs to Parkway Schools 

    2. Change permission settings to Editor 

  4. Select Copy links.

  5. Paste links in a new Google Document and separate them.



Time-Saving Tech Tip #1: Using Google Sheets

  1. In Google Sheets, paste the links.

  2. Go to Data > Split text to columns in order to separate all links at once


Time-Saving Tech Tip #2: Using Google Drive Stream to change the name all at once

  1. Go to your Google Drive Stream

  2. Select all

  3. Rename one and it will rename all of its copies
