This document provides instructions for using Livebinders to insert and share documents. It explains how to sign up for and create a binder in Livebinders. It then describes two methods for inserting documents into tabs or subtabs: uploading files directly, which does not show contents, or using Google Docs or Crocodoc for document hosting and embedding documents by pasting their URLs. Screenshots illustrate the steps to make a Google Doc public, copy its link, and paste into Livebinders to display the embedded document. Similar steps are outlined for using Crocodoc. Contact information is provided for help or questions.

Click on “Sign
Up” or “Log In”
Click on
“Create Binder”
Fill in

3. If you would like to upload a Word document or
another document to a Tab or Subtab, click on
“Upload File.” This enables users of the binder
to download the file(s), but the contents of the
Docs.Google.com
file do NOT show up in the window. To do this
you will need to use document hosting like
Google Docs or Crocodoc. (instructions on
following pages)

4. Using Google Docs to insert documents into Livebinders:
docs.google.com
Click on “Private to only me” and make it “Public.”

5. Click on “Public on the Web” or “Anyone with the link.”
Then click on “Save.”
Then copy the link!

6. Decide if you want the document to appear in the Main tab or a
Subtab. Then paste the URL of the Google Document into the “Enter
a URL” box and press INSERT
I named this subtab “Aviary Instructions” then posted the URL.

7. Then I clicked on “Insert” and the document came up! If it doesn’t
come up, refresh your browser.
Or, instead of Google Docs, use Crocodoc:
Crocodoc.com
Click on “Sign
Up” or “Login”
Click on
“Upload Document”

8. Click on
“Share”
Copy the link
Paste the link into
the Livebinder
