Important: Depending on your School District's version of Schoology and how the G-W External Tool has been set up at the district level, you may or may not have to select G-W as the External Tool Provider for the links within each course.

How do I know if I have to select G-W as the External Tool Provider?

Once you have added G-W content into your course, open the Resources folder and select Instructor-Activate Your Subscription.

If you receive an error message that reads, "We were unable to locate an external tool for this link..."

...please proceed with the following steps as you will need to select G-W as the External Tool Provider.

If you do not receive this message and are able to activate your subscription and view all links (resources with an orange ruler icon), then you will not have to select G-W as the External Tool Provider.

Steps to Choose G-W as the External Tool Provider

In order for the links to work, they must be associated with the appropriate Tool Provider. You will need to adjust every resource you and your students intend to use that has an orange ruler icon.

1. Import resources from the Resources or Groups tab into a specific course.
    
2. To adjust a link, select the corresponding Gear icon and select Edit.
   
    
3. From the Tool Provider drop-down menu, select the name of the G-W External Tool you or your District Administrator previously configured. Note: If the G-W Tool Provider is not in the drop-down menu, please see the Knowledge Base Article on How to Set Up G-W's External Tool as an Administrator.
   
    
4. Select Save Changes. 
    
5. Repeat these steps to associate all links with the appropriate Tool Provider.
