How to Manage and Edit Posts

Save this page to your Edmodo Library

We know a teacher’s agenda or lesson plans can frequently change, so you can make these changes without much extra work. Managing your posts allows you and your students to organize posts in a group, and will also give you the flexibility to plan ahead, change due dates and much more!

How to Edit a Post or Reply

Your students can only edit messages and comments that they posted to a group. Teachers can edit their own messages and comments, as well as any messages or comments posted by a student in their group by doing the following:

  1. Hover over the post or reply and click the blue arrow that appears in the top right corner of the post.
  2. Click “Edit.”
  3. Then click “Save” to save your edits.

How to Delete a Post

Your students can only delete their own posts or comments. Teachers can delete any posts or comments that they sent to the group, as well as any posts or comments by a student in their group by doing the following:

  1. Hover over the post or reply and click the blue arrow that appears in the top right corner of the post.
  2. Click “Delete Post” or “Delete Reply.”
  3. Click “Ok” to confirm.

Note: When you delete an original post, any links to that post will become inactive. For example, if you saved a specific post to your library and delete the original post, you can no longer access it in your library.

How to view, edit or reschedule a scheduled post

After you have scheduled a post to be sent out for a later date, you will see a “Scheduled Post” notification in your spotlight notifications. Until the post is sent out, this is the only place to view, edit or reschedule your scheduled post. To do this:

  1. Click on the “Scheduled Post” notification
  2. Hover over the post and click on the blue arrow that appears in the upper right corner.
  3. Choose from the following:
    • “Delete Post” to remove the post
    • “Edit Post” to change the name, description or due date
    • “Reschedule” to change the date/time the post will be sent out (or click “Send post now” to immediately send the post).

Note: If you have scheduled a post, you can only view, edit or reschedule a scheduled post in the spotlight notification. The scheduled post notification will be automatically removed once it is sent out.

 

How to View a Post in a New Window

  1. Hover over the post and select the blue arrow in the top right corner.
  2. Click “Link to this Post”.  
  3. Open a new tab in your web browser and paste the post link in the browser’s URL address bar.

Note: This will enable easier viewing of the post for teachers and students, and allows you to print the post.

 

How to Make a Post Public

By default, every post is private and only visible to the group’s members. To make the post visible from the group’s public page do the following:

  1. Hover over the post.
  2. Click the arrow that appears in the top right corner of the post.
  3. Click the “Make Public” option.

How to Tag a Post

You can create your own set of personalized tags to help organize and sort all your posts.  You can then share your tags with your connections and students.  For example, you can tag all of your assignment posts as “Assignments.”   To tag a post do the following:

  1. Click the “Tag” icon  below the post.
  2. Create a new tag or select from the tags you’ve already created.
  3. Visit your Edmodo homepage and click the “Tag” icon  above the post bubble. Select any tag below to call up any posts associated with that tag.

How to Share and Access Tags

  1. Click the “Tag” icon  above the post bubble on your homepage.
  2. In the drop-down menu that appears, you can view your tags and your shared tags by clicking the corresponding buttons at the top of the drop-down menu.
  3. You can share tags by clicking the “Manage Tags” link at the bottom of the drop-down menu.

How to Link to a Post

Each post has a unique URL associated with it, which enables you to share the post within Edmodo or externally. To access this link, do the following:

  1. Hover over the post you or your student published and click the blue arrow that appears in the upper right corner of the post.
  2. Click “Link to this Post” to retrieve the URL.

Note: All posts are, by default, private.  Providing a URL of the post to a person who is not a member the group, will not enable them to view the post (the post must be marked public in order for a non-member to view it).

Add posts to library

If you want to save a post to your library, do the following:

  1. Hover over the post and click the blue arrow that appears in the top right corner of the post.
  2. Click “Add Post to Library” to save the post in your library.
