Sharing and Collaboration

‍

Ella makes it easy to share visual supports with everyone on a child's support team, ensuring consistency across home, school, and therapy settings.

Share via Link

The fastest way to share a single visual support is by generating a shareable link.

How to share:

1. Open the support you want to share
2. Click the Share icon
3. The link is automatically copied
4. Send to teachers, therapists, family members, or anyone else who needs access

What recipients can do:

• View all images/pages
• Use the read-aloud feature (for stories)
• Download or print the support (requires paid subscription)

Best for:

• Sharing individual supports with specific people
• Quick distribution without needing account access
• One-time sharing for specific situations

Recipients can view and interact with everything shared with them, but cannot edit the support.

Share Entire Library

For ongoing collaboration with a support team, you can invite users to access your entire library of creations.

This is a paid feature. Learn more about plans and pricing →

How it works:

1. Invite team members to access your library
2. They can view all your creations for the child
3. Everyone stays aligned on strategies and visuals
4. Updates you make are instantly visible to all team members

Best for:

• Support teams working together consistently
• Ensuring the same visuals are used at home and school
• Therapists coordinating with families and teachers
• IEP teams maintaining aligned approaches

Download and Print

Every visual support can be downloaded as a PDF or printed directly from Ella with flexible layout options.

How to Download or Print

1. Open the support you want to download
2. Click the ellipsis (•••) button
3. Choose Download or Print
4. Adjust layout settings
5. Download or send to printer

Layout Options

Customize how your supports print or save:

Orientation:

• Portrait (vertical)
• Landscape (horizontal)

Pages per sheet:

• Adjust how many pages appear on each printed sheet
• Useful for creating booklets or compact references

Columns (for schedules and picture cards):

• Choose 1-5 columns per page
• More columns = more compact, good for on-the-go
• Fewer columns = larger visuals with more detail

Examples:

• 5-column portrait: Many small images on one page
• 2-column landscape: Larger images with good detail
• 1-column: Full-page images for maximum size

Tip: Print and laminate frequently-used schedules for reuse with dry-erase markers. Cut apart picture cards for physical manipulation.

Using Translated Supports
