Juniper Websites

Introduction

If your school is part of a larger group that has multiple Juniper Education websites, for example a MAT, they can be set up to allow content to be shared between sites. There are two ways that content can be shared:

1. Sharing content - this lets you share you web pages and sub-pages on other websites. 

2. Folder and file sharing - this lets you share folders and files through your Juniper Website File Manager. 

3. News story sharing - this lets you share news stories on other websites.

Prerequisites

1. The Linked Site Sharing feature must be enabled to use this functionality.

   If you manage a group of websites, for example, across a MAT and want to use the Linked Site Sharing feature, contact us to enable it.

Folder and file sharing

You can share folders and files with other connected schools, for example, in your MAT through File Manager. All schools that are connected can share their files or folders / view files and folders shared with them.
