Creating and Submitting a LiveText Document

[The process is different for creating a document as a course assignment in C1 LiveText. For that process, see the HelpSheet, ‘Creating and Submitting a Course Assignment.’]

  1. Use Mozilla Firefox to access the internet
  2. Open your LiveText Account.
  3. Click the ‘Documents’ tab. (This opens in the ‘My Work’ section of documents.)
  4. Click the ‘New’ button.
  5. Use the pull-down menu called ‘Choose a folder…,’ and click the appropriate folder to select it. (The selected title should now show in that box.)
  6. Use the pull-down menu called ‘Choose a template…,’ and click the appropriate template to select it. (The selected title should now show in the box.)
  7. (After you choose a template, the outline for the selected document appears on the right.)
  8. In the Title box, put your last name, first nameat the beginning of the title, but leave the rest of the title as written.(If the title includes a date, you can leave the date as is, change it to the date of the semester you are creating it, or delete the date. In the template, the date indicates the semester when the template was last revised.) (A description is optional.)
  9. [If the ‘Layout’ pull-down menu says ‘Single Page,’ you might want to change it to ‘Multiple Page.’ This can be changed now or anytime later using ‘Edit Properties’ in the document. It is a personal preference as to which of these layouts you want.]
  10. [The ‘Style’ choice should probably be left as ‘Default – Right Table of Contents,’ since that style matches the general C1 style. However, it can be changed to meet personal preferences.]
  11. Click ‘Save as New Document.’

To submit the document to an instructor or someone else for review or assessment:

  1. If document is not open, clickthe ‘Documents’ tab to find it in the ‘My Work’ area, and click on the document title.
  2. There are three buttons to choose from that will send the document to another LiveText account.
  3. [When submitting an assignment associated with a course, use ‘Submit Assignment.’ However, this choice will require that you associate the document with a specific assignment for the course. If the document is not part of a course assignment, do not use ‘Submit Assignment.’]
  4. [If you want to send the document to a friend or group member for their viewing or to help with editing, use the ‘Share’ button.]
  5. [For typical use in sending a non-course assignment document, use the ‘Send for Review’ button.]
  6. Click ‘Send for Review.’
  7. Type the name of the person you are sending it to in the box that opens. Pause after typing in the name to allow it to search. (You can use as much of the name as you know, and it will search through all MSU LiveText accounts for anyone’s name containing the letters you enter. You can narrow the search by typing the first and last names. However, if you misspell the name, you may not find anyone. If that happens, try again with only part of the name.)
  8. When the correct name appears, click on it. (Notice that it also gives the person’s LiveText username.)
  9. Click ‘Submit for Review’ below the name to complete the process. (There will be no indication that the submission was successful except that the name disappears.)
  10. To check on the submission, click the ‘Reviews’ tab at the top. (It will open in the ‘Inbox’ section, listing any submissions that have been returned to you from reviewers or assessors after they finish.)
  11. Click the ‘Sent’ tab. (It will contain all the submissions you have sent to reviewers.)
  12. The latest submissions will be toward the top of the list.
