Why Can't My Student Share a Document with Me?

1. In order for your students to successfully share a document with you, you must activate your account as a faculty or tutor. To activate your account, do one of the following options:
   1. Log into your IntelliWriter account via your LMS (Canvas, Blackboard, D2L, etc.) 
   2. Follow the Self-Registration Process 

Why Can't I Comment on or Edit This Shared Document?

The document's author decides on the permission level which you will have as they share it with you. There are three permission levels the author might have selected:

1. Read - the shared to person can only read your document, they cannot change you writing or interact with your document in any way. This is the lowest permission level
2. Comment – the shared to person can read your document, and also add their thoughts or suggestions as comments. They cannot alter or change your writing in any way
3. Write – the shared to person can read, comment on, or write in your document. Writing includes adding to your writing, deleting sections, or performing other actions. This is the highest permission level

If you feel the author has provided you with the wrong permission level, ask them to change it to the proper level. As soon as they make the change, it will take effect in your account.

Why is Text in My Document Highlighted?

Text might be highlighted for one of two different reasons:

1. The text might be highlighted using the "Background Color" functionality in the Font section of the Ribbon.  To remove the highlight or change the color:
   1. Select the text
   2. Click the bold "A," which is highlighted in yellow, at the bottom right of the Font section of the Ribbon
   3. Select a color, or click "More Colors" for a full list of color options
   4. To remove all highlighting, select "Automatic" at the top of the color list
2. The text might be highlighted because you or someone with which you shared your document has added a Comment specific to that section of text.  To view the comment:
   
   1. Click the "Review" tab
   2. Click the "+" button to the left of the Comments section in the Review pane.
