Microsoft integration on Toddle allows educators and students to seamlessly access and use Microsoft tools across the platform. By connecting your Microsoft account, you unlock the ability to integrate OneDrive and SharePoint for file management, collaborate using shared documents, and schedule meetings via Microsoft Teams - all without leaving Toddle. Let’s explore how to set up and use these features effectively.

💡SharePoint access requires signing in with a school or organizational Microsoft account that has SharePoint enabled. Personal Microsoft accounts will only have access to OneDrive features.

This article will cover:

Start by managing your Microsoft account connection from the Profile section:

1. Navigate to the ‘Profile’ section from the homepage.

2. On the landing page, you can check all accounts connected to your profile. To link your Microsoft account, click ‘Connect’ as highlighted below.

3. You will be redirected to a sign-in page where you can enter your Microsoft account credentials.

4. Sign in with your Microsoft credentials and review the access permissions Toddle requires for your selected account. Click ‘Accept’ to continue.

💡Connecting your Microsoft account is a one-time setup. You won't need to manage these permissions again unless you disconnect your account from Toddle.

Once your Microsoft account is connected, you will be able to access and share all your OneDrive and SharePoint files within Toddle without having to sign in again.

To disconnect your Microsoft account, click ‘Disconnect’ on the same profile page.

After connecting your Microsoft account, you can leverage Microsoft services across multiple workflows on Toddle. Depending on your Microsoft account permissions, you will be able to access the following features:

While creating assignments, you can directly add resources from OneDrive/SharePoint using the ‘Add from OneDrive/SharePoint’ option.

💡This functionality works consistently across Toddle wherever file uploads are supported.

If you only have OneDrive access, you will be able to access all the OneDrive files of your linked account. You can choose any file that you wish to add as a resource.

If you're using a school or business Microsoft account with SharePoint access, you’ll see your recent and pinned SharePoint sites listed under ‘Quick access’ in the file picker. There’s no need to log in separately, these shared drives will appear automatically alongside your personal OneDrive files. From here, you can choose any file that you wish to add as a resource.

When uploading resources from OneDrive/SharePoint, you will have the following options:

Choose the appropriate option from the dropdown and click on the ‘Done’ button. Consequently, the file will be added as a resource.

When creating a class task, you can upload files from your OneDrive/SharePoint to be used as submission templates. Students will be able to use those files to submit their work.

💡The available options to upload will depend on the school’s chosen cloud storage integration (Google Workspace or Microsoft OneDrive/SharePoint) set during onboarding. If no cloud storage option was selected during onboarding, the school will only have the option to upload templates from a local device.

If your Microsoft account is already connected, you will be able to access all the OneDrive/SharePoint files of your linked account. You’ll see both personal files (My files) and shared drives (Quick access) if your organization uses SharePoint. From here, you can choose any file that you wish to add as a submission template.

💡If your Microsoft account is not connected to the Toddle platform, you will be redirected to a sign-in page where you can link your OneDrive/SharePoint account.

Next, a pop-up screen will appear where you can choose to make a separate copy of the attached file for each student or give edit access to all students to the same file. Choose the appropriate option from the dropdown and click on the ‘Done’ button. Based on your selection, Toddle will either create individual copies for each student or share the same file with all students from the ‘Toddle’ folder.

Toddle copies the file to a drive folder named ‘Toddle’ in your connected OneDrive/SharePoint account. It makes no changes to the original document and instead uses the copied document everywhere.

When students are assigned a task with an attached student template from OneDrive/SharePoint, they can directly submit their responses by clicking on the ‘Add response’ button.

💡Note that, students must be logged in using their school or organizational Microsoft account to access and edit the file.

If the student's Microsoft account hasn't been added to the Toddle platform, they will encounter an error message and won't be able to access the shared template.

If a student accesses a submission template using an account other than their school or organization’s Microsoft account, they may encounter an error based on the school's Microsoft admin center settings.

In such cases, if external sharing is restricted, the file will open in read-only mode.

To resolve these issues, you or a school admin must ensure the following:

Once the correct email is added, the student will be able to access submission templates shared from OneDrive or SharePoint, provided they are logged in with the same Microsoft account linked to their Toddle profile.

They can then open the file and directly add their responses to the shared submission template.

In case the student is submitting their work directly from OneDrive without using a submission template, they can do so using the ‘Add from OneDrive’ option as shown below.

When uploading work from OneDrive, students will have the following options:

If the file is shared as a link, you will be able to access it only when the access is open for all or the student has shared its access specifically with you. If the student has shared a private file, access to the linked file will be denied at your end.

To review the work of students that is submitted as a Onedrive/SharePoint file, you can simply open it from Toddle in a new tab and annotate it using the Microsoft annotating features like comments and highlights.

These annotations are visible to students in real time, allowing them to address feedback directly and refine their work effectively.

If your Microsoft account is linked on Toddle, you can schedule video meetings directly using Microsoft Teams. To do this, select the ‘Microsoft Teams’ option under the meeting link section. If your Microsoft account is not yet linked, you will be prompted to sign in and connect your account. Once connected, you can easily use Microsoft Teams to generate the meeting link automatically.

We hope that you were able to find what you were looking for.
