To add material to the Library:

  1. Navigate to the Library tab on the course home page
  2. Select Add content
  3. You can then select a textbook from Perusall’s catalog, upload your own materials from Google Drive, your computer, or take a snapshot of a web page, for instance.

To edit the name of the material:

  1. Click to highlight the material in the Library tab on the course home page,
  2. Click the Edit button.

Perusall does not have PDF editing tools built-in, so if you determine that the underlying document itself needs to be edited (e.g., some pages need to be rotated), then the document should be modified in Adobe Acrobat and then uploaded to Perusall.

To delete material:

  1. Click to highlight the document in the Library tab on the course home page.
  2. Click the Delete button.
