Hello Jon,
I’m glad that the beta version of CODAP works better on the iPad. Yes, there are ways to create a shared link that opens the beta and you can also edit existing links.
- When you are working in the beta version and you create a shared link, that shared link points to the beta. Here’s an example: https://codap3.concord.org/beta#shared=https%3A%2F%2Fcfm-shared.concord.org%2F45SqfjPALYlAnVoC5zJl%2Ffile.json You can see that the first part of the link “https://codap3.concord.org/beta” refers to the beta.
- Now suppose you have an existing link; e.g.
https://codap.concord.org/app/static/dg/en/cert/index.html#shared=https%3A%2F%2Fcfm-shared.concord.org%2Folc2DjbcP247yrdKI0CV%2Ffile.json
You can edit this link, replacing everything from the beginning up to the “#” (hash mark) with the pointer to the beta; i.e. “https://codap3.concord.org/beta” so that the full link becomes
https://codap3.concord.org/beta#shared=https%3A%2F%2Fcfm-shared.concord.org%2Folc2DjbcP247yrdKI0CV%2Ffile.json Pass that link out to your students and it will open the beta for them.
I hope that works for you!
Bill
