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 Share icon → Share link‍
3. The link is automatically copied
4. paste link into email, text, or a document

Tip: When using Chrome, you can generate a QR code under the three dots menu → Cast, Save, Share → Create QR code

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

Note: 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.

How it works:

1. Invite team members to access your library
2. They can view all your creations
3. 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 Share icon → Download or Print‍
3. Configure layout
4. Download or print

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

Translation

Ella includes built-in translation for visual supports, making it easy to share resources with families who speak different languages at home.
