This slug was a group-project flyer. Shared documents. Comments that don’t alter the text. Roles. Revision history. Colour-coded classmates. A last paragraph that said Studio publishes to the blog without leaving the editor.
August 2026. I opened Studio and got image and video projects. I opened Docs when I wanted words. I am retitling this so the next student doesn’t plan a thesis around a crop tool.
Same slug. Old links live. The body is a redirect with enough meat that you don’t need a second tab immediately.
## If you needed a group paper
Use https://docs.oernoe.com.
One account each. Don’t share a password among four people. You will fight on Sunday night.
Make a dummy doc first. Share that. If your classmate can open it, you understand the control. Then share the real one.
I will not invent the permission labels. Look at the screen. If you cannot tell who can edit, don’t put the grade in it.
If comments exist, use them for margin notes. If they don’t, use Chat for talk and keep the doc clean. Chat is https://chat.oernoe.com. The other person can screenshot you.
Revision history: if you see it, good. If you don’t, keep a copy in Drive after each big night. https://drive.oernoe.com
## If you needed a club poster or a clip
Then Studio might be the host you wanted, by accident. https://studio.oernoe.com
One image project. One clip. Export if you can. Put the export in Drive. Don’t treat Studio as the only copy.
Collaboration on media is messier than on a doc. Two people on a timeline is how you get two versions named final. Pick one owner. The others send files.
I will not tell you Studio has roles and emoji identities. The old stub did. I didn’t see that speech on the landing screen.
## Students, the boring rules that prevent tears
The file of record should be exportable. If you cannot download, you do not have homework. You have a tab.
School addresses expire. Don’t make the only owner a graduating senior’s .edu.
Shared family iPads keep sessions. Sign out.
Don’t put other students’ grades, IDs, or health notes in a shared anything. FERPA-shaped common sense. I am not your registrar.
Oernoe is not directed at children under 13. A class of little kids should not be a Chat plus Health plus Studio pile under one teacher password.
## Writers who are not in a class
Docs. A title. A draft. A second pair of eyes if you trust them with a link.
This journal is not a self-serve magazine you publish from Studio. Staff publish here. If you wanted a public post, you wanted a public host you control.
AI can outline. ai.oernoe.com. You still have to write the sentences. Prompts are submissions. Don’t paste interview raw notes you promised to keep quiet.
Search is for sources. Cite the page you opened, not the results list.
## What “getting more” used to mean, and what it can mean
The old phrase meant features: comments, roles, table of contents, one-click publish. Getting more, today, means picking the right host and not oversharing.
More from Studio: a cleaner image if the editor works.
More from Docs: a paper that two people can see.
More from Drive: the export, named something dull.
More from Chat: a decision, then back to the doc.
More from the account: one password, unique, mailbox locked. Not four.
## When the group should leave Oernoe for the assignment
If Docs cannot share the way your teacher requires a Google link, use what the teacher requires. Come back later. You do not owe us a workaround.
If Studio cannot export the codec the class asked for, use the editor you already know.
If Chat is empty because nobody else signed up, use the group text you already have.
Switching is not betrayal. It is a due date.
## Privacy, ads, and the file you should not “just drop in”
We do not sell account information. Application hosts are supposed to be outside the journal’s ad script. The journal may still show ads. Policy: https://www.oernoe.com/legal/privacy
A shared doc is a small publication. A shared clip is a small publication. Don’t put a password in either.
If someone you don’t know appears in the share list, change the password from a machine you trust and write support@oernoe.com with times.
## Support that isn’t a group chat
support.oernoe.com can take a ticket. The shelves were empty when I looked. Say which host. Say it’s a class deadline if it is. We still may not move at homework speed. That is a reason to keep an export.
status.oernoe.com is public. It may not name Docs or Studio. Mention that if you’re down and they’re green.
## A Sunday-night script
8:00: open the dummy share. Confirm the classmate.
8:10: open the real doc or the real export.
8:15: paste from the local copy, not from memory.
8:40: download.
8:45: put the download in Drive and on the USB you forget you own.
9:00: stop adding “one last paragraph” in three tools at once.
If Studio is the wrong tool, you will know by 8:05. That is the collaboration tip I wish we’d published in June.
## Closing
I will not get more novels out of Studio while the buttons say video. I will get fewer angry emails if this slug tells the truth. Writers: Docs. Media: Studio, maybe. Groups: one owner, one export, one unique password each. The rest is decoration we already tried.
## Comments, colours, and other leftovers
The old stub wanted a colour or emoji per contributor. Cute in a workshop. Useless if the product is a crop tool. If Docs has comment names, use names, not a legend you have to teach.
Table of contents: use headings in Docs if the editor makes a outline. Don’t wait for Studio to grow one.
Blog integration: not a student feature. This journal is ours. Your class blog is elsewhere.
## Teachers
If you are assigning Oernoe, assign a host, not a brand. “Put the paper in Docs and share it with me” is an assignment. “Use Studio” is a scavenger hunt.
Have a fallback. Our Status page may not even name the host you picked.
Don’t collect health data. Don’t collect home addresses in a shared doc because a form felt handy.
## Group chat vs group doc
Decisions in Chat die. Decisions in the doc live. When someone says “we agreed,” paste the sentence into the paper.
Voice calls are not a Studio feature I will document. Use the phone.
## After the grade
Download. Remove classmates if the share list lets you. Don’t leave a term paper public because you forgot.
If you want the account later for Search, keep it. You don’t have to keep the shared mess.
## A note for people who already started in Studio
If you drafted words in a place that will not export them, copy now. Paste into Docs or into a file on your machine. Do not wait for the writing costume to return.
If you only have images in Studio, you are in the right host. Share by exporting, then Drive, then a link you understand. “Invite a collaborator into the crop tool” is not a workflow I will teach until I can see it.
If your professor bookmarked this slug in March, send them the first heading. Titles lie longer than bodies. We tried to fix this one.
