Owl Mail is a free service of Worksheet Crafter which allows you to send your content in a private and easy via the Internet. Owl Mail makes it easy to share content with your colleagues or use the link to access the content for printing in school.
How does OwlMail work?
The idea of Owl Mail is quite simple. Your content is uploaded to one of our servers where it can be downloaded. After the upload you receive a link to a page where the content is provided as PDF and *.wscdoc. You can then e.g. send this link via email to your colleague or to your school computer.
Your content is not public. Only people you shared the link with have access to the content. It is a private exchange.

Hint: If you want to provide a digital worksheet for WorksheetGo!, use the menu entry "Upload for Worksheet Go!" instead. |
Sending a File via Owl Mail
To send a file via Owl Mail, open it in Worksheet Crafter and then select the "File" menu entry "Send via Owl Mail...". A new dialog will be opened where you can enter a title and optionally a description and/or your name. This information is uploaded with the file.
The "Upload" button starts the upload.
When the upload is finished, Worksheet Crafter will automatically copy the link to your content to the clipboard, so that you can insert it e.g. into an email. Additionally the link will be shown in a confirmation dialog.
If your file is very large Owl Mail will show a warning. The upload might take a long time in this case.

Your content can be access with the link. Only people with this link have access to the worksheet. When opening the link in a web browser, the content will be available in the following representations:
•The worksheet itself in PDF format. This file can be printed by any user, even without Worksheet Crafter being installed.
•The separate answer key, if available, also in PDF format.
•The original Worksheet Crafter document (*.wscdoc). With this file your colleagues are able to adjust the content to their needs, if they have Worksheet Crafter installed on their computer.
