Finding Your School or District's Common Assessments
There are a few ways you can find and assign a school or district common assessment, or an assessment created by a colleague.
🔗 Direct Assessment Link
Your admin or colleague may have shared a direct link to the assessment via email, a curriculum doc, or a shared spreadsheet — this is the assessment's URL from the browser address bar.
1. Click the shared link — it will open the assessment directly in your InnerOrbit Library.
2. The pink "Assign" window will appear on the right — you're ready to assign!
📂 Pinned District or School Folder
Your admin may have created a pinned folder that appears at the top of your "Library" tab for everyone in your school or district.
1. Go to your "Library" tab.
2. Open the pinned district/school folder at the top of the page.
3. Find the common assessment and click on the assessment tile, or click the vertical three dots (⋮), to assign.

How Shared Assessment Data Works
Your data stays completely separate. You'll only see your own students' results in your account, and the teacher who created the assessment will only see theirs.
If you want to see each other's data on assessments, you can set permissions for other teachers to have access to your reports.
If you are a coach/administrator and need to see data across your whole context, send us a message on the site chat that your need admin privileges added to your account.
