Exploring the Public Product Library
What is the Public Product Library?
Public Profile
The Public Product Library does not require a log-in or other credential to access. It is a public-facing URL intended to improve communication and transparency with parents and other interested parties. It allows you to easily share an inventory of approved edtech products, relevant documents, contracts, and other important information with your parents and external stakeholders.
You must be an Organization Administrator with a LearnPlatform District Professional subscription to enable and configure the Public Product Library. Once enabled, the Public Product Library is accessible by anyone with the URL and does not require a login or authentication
