2. Click "View" on the file that you would like to share
3. Click the "Draft a new share" button to the top right of the file
4. Give the share a title&#x20;
5. Click "Draft Share" to create a draft&#x20;

At this point, the video has not yet been shared with anyone! You may populate it with comments before sharing
{% endhint %}

## Annotate the shared content

To add notes and annotations to the share:

1. Click the green link to the specified share under "This file has the following shares"
2. Add comments (with timestamps) to the right of the share, or add a caption that parents can see (but not edit) to the bottom of the share
   1. For videos, comments to the right can also not include a timestamp if the "Include timestamp?" box is unchecked
   2. For captions, you can also [insert a template](https://docs.juniperplatform.com/session-notes/use-templates) that you've created previously
