Hey all! I am hoping to gain some of your expertise on a collaboration query. I have students using apple schoolwork and I selected specific students within a class to collaborate on a numbers document. However, the changes one student makes does not seem to be reflected on the document. It seems to have generated seperate copies even though I selected to collaborate on the same file. They use managed ID’s…..
We have this issue with collaboration from time to time - I have a couple of suggestions.
While we do use collaboration in iWork, probably worth mentioning that we don't use Schoolwork - we use Schoology (3-12) and Seesaw (PK-2) as our LMS platforms and our feedback from our teachers was that adding in Schoolwork was a workflow that was not efficient for them or students.
- Change link to "ANYONE WITH THE LINK" instead of invited only - for some reason this seems to help collaboration work more smoothly in general.
- Airdrop always makes it's own copy, even if collaborate is selected, so skip over that option - have been told it is a "known issue". However, copying the link into a Note and airdropping the Note does work for us.
- Share the link via email - this seems to work the most smoothly for us.

Sorry you're having this experience, Jean.
Can you go to the iPad's settings and ensure both Schoolwork and Numbers are up-to-date on both instructor and student devices? At the time of this writing, Schoolwork is at 2.5.1 and Numbers should be on 13.2.
