The FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) tool enables you to provide a list of common questions with answers that users might have when using Learning Environment or accessing a course. FAQ questions and answers are organized into categories, and all questions and answers must belong to a category.
The Dropbox event log enables you to view information on specific activity for individual dropbox folders. The event log tracks when users create, delete, and restore dropbox folders. Once an action is taken, the event log records the name and ID of the dropbox folder, the action, the user who made the change, and the date it was performed.
If OriginalityCheck is enabled, you can use the GradeMark functionality to add comments, insert inline text, and highlight sections in file submissions, directly from the Dropbox tool.
The preview option enables you to navigate the steps that users go through to submit files, review their submissions, and view submission history.
You can make a preview submission visible on the Submissions page, but you cannot give feedback, grades, or rubric scores to it because it is not tied to an actual user.
The Evaluate Submission page enables you to evaluate and leave feedback for user submissions, but you can also download submissions from the Folder Submissions page to work on files offline.
The Evaluate Submission page contains two main sections: the Submissions List panel and the Evaluation panel. From the Submissions List panel you can download submissions to work with offline or view them inline with the document viewer. The Submissions List panel also displays a user's or a group's file submissions. Use the Evaluation panel to grade and provide comments.
If you need to access submission files offline instead of viewing them directly from Dropbox's document viewer, you can download submissions to your computer. You can also leave feedback in downloaded submission files, and upload the files back to the dropbox folder in the form of attachments (files are attached to each user's submission evaluation). See Uploading and attaching feedback from downloaded submission files for more information.
The Dropbox Folders page provides a summary of the Total Files, Unread Files, Flagged Files, and Due Date for each dropbox folder. Click on a folder to navigate to its Folder Submissions page to view submitted files.
You can also access users' folder submission history from the Evaluate Submission page if they have submitted at least one file to the folder. A submission history enables you to quickly view a list of all files a student has submitted including:
Restrict the number of files allowed per submission

Go to the Objectives tab to associate a dropbox folder with a learning objective. By associating a dropbox folder with a learning objective, you can tie the folder to a competency you want users to master. This association can be a basic association or an association with a rubric-based assessment.
See Competencies' Creating activities for information on the levels of association.
