Sharing to the Main Stream

If you or your teacher are happy with a post in your class Community, you can share it to the Main Stream. Sharing a post to the Main Stream is like publishing it to the public internet. Posts shared from class communities to the Main Stream are actually duplicated so they exist in both places. When the post is shared from the Community to the Main Stream, the writer has the opportunity to update the title or edit the post prior to sharing. To learn about sharing posts, see the Sharing Posts article.
