If you want to give an ACU colleague access to edit your Equella resources, you can add them as a collaborator.

A collaborator can modify existing versions, and create and publish new versions on your behalf.

  1. Navigate to your unit in LEO and turn the editing on.
  2. In any section of the unit, click the Add an activity or resource link.
