Log in to Google Classroom
To use any Google Classroom feature from our app, you must log in with your Classroom user first.
If you logged in to your account before opening our app, no login data will be requested.
If you didn't log in with your Classroom user, then you'll be requested to access your Google user when you try any Classroom feature. Once you're logged in, you won't be asked again to log in.
NOTE: The new window that pops up is from Google so no delicate information from your Google account will be kept in our app.
If you logged in to Google with a different account than the Classroom account, a message will be displayed saying you must close the current user account and open the one from Classroom.
You can change the user easily by answering Yes to the question on the message to open a new window with Classroom access page.
In this Classroom page, you must log out from the current incorrect account.
Once you're log out, you can access with your correct Classroom user in the new window that will appear. Once you log in you must go to our app again to start working with Google Classroom features.
Link group from Google Classroom
You can link an Additio group with a group already created in Google Classroom. You can do this with Link group option. In the three vertical dots > Google Classroom > Link group.
Once you've chosen this option, a new window will be displayed where you have to select the Google Classroom group you can to link with the Additio group.

Those students invited to join the Google Classroom group won't be displayed in the app until they accept the invitation.

When you select the student that is not linked yet, all the Google Classroom students without link will be displayed so we'll be able to choose the student we want to link our student with.
Once you've selected the Google Classroom student you want to link your student with, click on Link.
