Group resources
Overview
Group Resources is a centralized location for shared materials from all groups you belong to, including School Resources. If you're not a member of any groups or haven't selected your school, the resources list will appear empty.
While there's no strict limit on the number of materials you can add, Schoology recommends maintaining 5,000 materials or fewer for optimal performance.
