Organizing, searching, copying, and managing lesson files in My Library
In the My Library tab, you can search for and delete files, make copies, and choose how files are displayed and sorted. This page displays recently opened, modified, or created files at the top of the page, followed by folders and individual files.
Note
Lesson files are your source files or resources. They can be found in My Library, Shared Libraries, or Lumio Library.

Folders appear after the Recents row in My Library and are organized alphabetically or by date (depending on how you’ve chosen to sort lessons). You can also create subfolders to help organize your lessons for different classes or units within a topic. Watch the video below to learn about using folders to organize your lessons.
Note
If you’ve enabled Google integration with Lumio, you can use folders in Google Drive to organize your lessons alongside other teacher materials already in your drive. Also, although Lumio files appear in Google Drive after integration, folders created in Lumio will not appear and are separate from folders and the organizational structure established in Google Drive.

Lumio creates a new session when you start a new live lesson or share a new assignment, without affecting the original file or requiring you to make a copy.
As students work in the session, their responses are saved in that class session file. When students complete activities, you can review their responses as soon as you end the activity. Student contributions remain in the session indefinitely or until you reset the activity. You can manage and review all sessions in the Class Sessions tab.
If you want to deliver the same lesson to a different group of students, start a new live lesson or share a new assignment to create a new session. Any student data for that group will be saved in the new session.
You can also copy a lesson manually.
