How to Share Your Study Set in the Public Library

Every set in the Public Library started as someone's notes. If you have already done the work of turning a chapter into questions for yourself, sharing it takes very little extra effort and can save other students hours. Here is how the process works.

Start with material you understand

Begin from your own notes, slides, or a study guide. In ZykoStudy you can upload PDF, Word, PowerPoint, and text files, upload a photo or scan, or paste text, and the tool turns it into questions. Start at the turn your notes into a game page. The better and more focused the source, the better the set, so one chapter or unit works better than a whole semester dumped into one upload.

Review and edit before you share

Generated questions are a starting point, not a finished product. Open the set in the editor, read through the questions, and fix wording, remove duplicates, and delete anything that does not match your class. Ten to twenty solid questions on one topic is more useful to another student than sixty rough ones. This also helps you: checking questions is itself a form of studying.

Give it a title people can search for

Library search reads titles, descriptions, subjects, and author names. A title like “MCAT: Sensation and Perception” or “Unit 3 Cell Energetics” is easy to find. A title named after a file, such as “Untitled Document,” is not. A short description that says what the set covers and who it is for helps the right person choose it.

Choose public or private

Sets have two visibility states. A public set is listed in the Public Library where anyone can find and play it. A private set is not listed, though you can keep editing it and anyone with the direct link can still play it. That makes private a good default while you are working, and public a choice you make once the set is ready. You can see which of your sets are which, and filter between them, on the My Sets tab of the library or on My Creations.

Keep the library safe

Public sets are visible to everyone, so keep them appropriate and free of personal information about other people. Every public set has a report button. According to the in-app note, an AI reviews each report right away, clearly violating sets are removed and the uploader is suspended, and a moderator looks at the rest. That is a good reason to only share material you would be comfortable putting your name next to.

Why sharing helps you too

When other students play your set, it builds up a play count and ratings that show which sets are worth using. Sharing also pushes you to make cleaner questions, and explaining a topic well enough for a stranger to practice it is a strong way to learn it, close to the Feynman technique.
