Navigating the Resource Library

The Resource Library is divided into three sections:

• Shared Assignments: Access assignments shared with you by colleagues within your organization, and view assignments you've shared with others.
• FFE Assignments: A collection of ready-to-use assignments created by the Flat for Education team. Use them as-is or customize them to fit your needs.

A powerful filtering system allows you to quickly find specific assignments. Filter by subject, grade level, or assignment type to navigate your library more efficiently.

To maximize filter effectiveness, be sure to tag assignments when creating them.
