Collaborate with students in Schoolwork
When you share a collaborative file, your students and you can work in the same file at the same time. You can view and edit the file while your students are working in it, and add comments to provide real-time feedback and guide them along the way.
Schoolwork supports collaboration for Pages, Numbers and Keynote files.

Tap Publish, then collaborate and view each file while students are working on their activity.
Students can work in their own copy of the file, and you can view and edit the file while your students are working in it to add comments and provide real-time feedback.

When you share a file with your entire class or one or more students in your class, you can specify how to share the file:
Each student can edit their own file: Schoolwork sends each student a copy of the file. You work with each student in their individual file.
Students collaborate together on the same file: Schoolwork sends all students the same copy of the file (iWork file only). You and the entire class work together in the shared file.
Only you can make changes: Schoolwork sends all students the same copy of the file. Students can view the file, but only you and co-teachers can edit the file.
