Adding Shelf Content

Open the bucket in Google Cloud

Sign in with your Springs Google account. Only the editors on the Montessori Voyage team can change files; anyone can view the site.

Where files go

Choice boards go in boards/level/subject/. The folder names decide which shelf a board appears on.

Levels: primary, lower-elementary, upper-elementary, middle-school, unsorted
Subjects: culture, ela, math, practical-life, other
Guides and teacher pages go in guides/. Classroom materials go in materials/.

A new subject folder (for example boards/primary/art/) shows up as a new subject heading on that level's shelf.

Add a board

Save the board as one .html file, with its images built in. Each Claude-built board is already a single file like this.
Name the file after the board, using hyphens between words, for example weather-helpers.html. The shelf turns the file name into the title (“Weather Helpers”). Boards from the checklist below keep the title from the index sheet when you use the name shown.
In the bucket, open the boards folder, then the level folder, then the subject folder. Use Create folder if one is missing.
Choose Upload → Upload files and pick the file.

Update or remove a board

Update: upload the new version with exactly the same file name into the same folder, and choose to overwrite.
Move to another shelf: upload it to the new folder, then delete the old copy.
Remove: tick the file and choose Delete. For 7 days IT can bring back a deleted or overwritten file; after that it's gone, so keep your own copy.
Leave the files at the top of the bucket (index.html, how-to-add.html, 404.html) and the assets folder alone. They run the site itself.

New files show up on the shelves right away. A browser that opened an older copy of a board may keep showing it for up to an hour; a hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac) loads the new one.

Upload checklist

Every item from the Choice Board Shelves – Index sheet, with the folder and file name to use. The sheet has the Claude link for each one.
