Share and export groupings and seatings

Overview

This article covers sharing and export options for groupings and seating charts.

Examples:

  • "How do I print groups?"

  • "How do I print my seating chart?"

  • "Can I send this to Canva?"

  • "How do I copy this as an image or text?"

Share workflow

  1. Open a class and select the Grouping or Seating view — you share whichever is on screen.

  2. Click Share in the top toolbar. (On smaller screens, open the three-dot menu in the top toolbar to find Share.)

  3. Choose one option.

From the Grouping view, the options are:

  • Download PDF

  • Share to Canva

  • Share to Classroomscreen

  • Copy image to clipboard

  • Copy text to clipboard

From the Seating view, the options are:

  • Download PDF

  • Copy image to clipboard

Option details

Download PDF

  • Saves a printer-friendly PDF of your grouping or seating chart to the device.

  • Grouper does not provide a direct Print button.

  • Recommended print path: download PDF, then print the file.

Copy image to clipboard

  • Copies a visual snapshot of the grouping or seating chart.

  • Can be pasted into tools like Google Slides, Google Docs, Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, Nearpod, PowerPoint, and many more.

Share to Canva (groupings only)

  • Creates a synced embedded grouping in Canva.

  • Follow instructions after selecting Share to Canva to complete the embed.

  • Updates the embedded Canva grouping when the grouping is changed on Grouper.

  • A newly created grouping does not automatically replace a prior Canva embed.

Share to Classroomscreen (groupings only)

  • Creates a synced embedded grouping in a Classroomscreen screen.

  • Follow instructions after selecting Share to Classroomscreen to complete the embed.

  • Updates the embedded Classroomscreen grouping when the grouping is changed on Grouper.

  • A newly created grouping does not automatically replace a prior Classroomscreen embed.

Copy text to clipboard (groupings only)

  • Copies a plain-text list of groups and members.

  • Useful for quick sharing in docs, messages, and LMS tools like Google Classroom, Canvas or Schoology.

Important behavior

  • In the Grouping view, Share is available once at least one group exists. If Share is disabled, create groups first (for example with Students per group, Number of groups, or Shuffle).

Troubleshooting

"Share is disabled"

In the Grouping view, create at least one group, then open Share again. In the Seating view, add seats to your layout and click Done before sharing.

"My Canva or Canva embed did not update after I made a new grouping"

Create a new Canva share/embed from the new grouping state.

"Can I share my seating chart to Canva or Classroomscreen?"

Not currently. Seating charts can be shared as a PDF or copied as an image, which you can paste into other tools.

"I need a printout"

Use Download PDF, then print from your PDF viewer.
