Workspaces Guide
The Workspaces feature in your Presence website is a secure online portal where teachers and administrators can communicate in a password-protected environment. This tool features all of Presence's standard collaborative modules, such as calendars, photo galleries and discussion forum as well as content authoring and document sharing modules such as content pages, files, folders and the knowledge repository, but is typically not used by parents, students, or community members. The Workspaces Guide describes how to access and manage Workspaces, and is intended only for administrators and teachers.
