Access and Edit the H5P activity
Option 1: Edit from VU Collaborate space
1. Navigate to the desired H5P activity embedded within your unit space.

1. Navigate to H5P Dashboard via vu.h5p.com (external link).
2. Scroll to the desired activity and select the Pencil icon next to the H5P name.
If you cannot find the Edit option which means you don't have permission to edit the activity,
you can contact the H5P creator (either from the Unit Convenor or your colleagues) to request for your access.

Within the H5P editing mode, to add another staff member:
- Scroll down to the bottom and select Collaborators (1) tab.
- Type the user's name or email address under Choose who can edit content (2) and select the staff details.
To remove a collaborator, select the X icon (a) next to their detail.
Once complete, select Save to apply the changes.
Option Two: Create & Share a Custom H5P Folder
A recommended option for a team of the teaching team is working on or facilitating the same H5P activities.
Once you allow them access to a folder, all of the materials in that folder can be edited.

2. From the top screen, select New Folder.
3. Enter the folder name (1) and select Create (2).

All activity will later be stored in your desired folder.
Share Folder with other staff members
