Documents and Files

Note: the legacy .doc format is supported for upload in SpacesEDU, however users may encounter errors when previewing .doc files with more complex formatting. If this occurs, you can still download the original file and view it in Word. If possible, we recommend re-saving files as .docx before uploading (the default file format used by current versions of Microsoft Word).


Good to Know


  • PDF Annotation: You can annotate PDF files directly within the SpacesEDU app to provide targeted feedback or highlight specific student achievements.
  • Cloud Integration: Files from Google Drive and OneDrive are supported via their respective integrations.
  • Support: If you have questions about a specific file type not listed here, please contact us via the chat icon on the left side of your screen.


💡 Tip: To ensure the best viewing experience for families across all devices, we recommend using .mp4 for videos and .jpg or .png for images.
