Sharing content with other teachers
Importing and exporting collection files is an ideal way to share custom categories with other teachers and to use categories that other teachers have created. You can use collection files to add items to the My Content category in the Gallery. After you import a collection file, all of its items appear in the Gallery as a new subcategory.
