When you upgrade to a School or Business plan—or start a free trial—you automatically get access to a team. Your team gives you access to a collaborative workspace where you can easily share 3D models with colleagues or peers.

Here are a few important things to know about teams:

• Joining a team: Team members can join your team through an email invitation, an invite code or link, or via domain match (if this feature is enabled).
• Team size: While all teams function in the same way, the maximum number of members allowed varies by account. You can find your team's specific member limit on the Team page.
• Roles and permissions: Team members’ access and permissions within the team may vary based on their assigned roles. A team member's role is often determined by the team's default member role, but it can also be explicitly selected by the inviter when inviting a member via email.
• Managing roles: Administrators can change a team member’s role at any time on the Team page.

Invite other members

If your organization is subscribed to our Business plan, we recommend inviting colleagues, reviewers, and anyone else who will have a role in curating the models you will be making available to your learners. (Again, you can control their level of access by selecting an appropriate team member role.)

Organizations subscribed to our School plan, on the other hand, often choose to invite their students directly to their teams, but you can opt to limit your team to instructors if you prefer.

Regardless of who you invite to your team and what roles you assign them, team membership automatically unlocks several key features for everyone in your team:

• Unlimited views of all models in Explore.
• Unlimited 3D model storage in My Library.
• A dedicated “Team” section in My Library where you can share and collaborate on saved 3D models with other members of your team.

  Tip: If you are an instructor with a School plan, you can use your "Team" section to share specific 3D models (customized or not) with your students. If your students are assigned the Creator role, they can also use this section to share content with you, other instructors, and/or other students. To learn how to keep your team’s shared content organized, see our article on collections.

Share content with learners

Once you and your fellow team members have determined which models you would like to share with your learners and saved them to My Library, you can publish them as a link or embed code and integrate them into your website, learning management system (LMS), or application.

Even if you are sharing your team with students as part of a School plan, you can still make specific models available to your students in your LMS.
