3. Click on VIEW ALL (at the bottom of the menu).
4. Click CREATE A NEW COPY.     (It will create a copy in your Kami Uploads Folder).
5. At the top of the screen, click on the crazy file name and change it to what you like.
6. The file is initially saved in the Kami Uploads folder.  You can go into Google Drive and drag it into whatever folder you like!
• ****This is great for Concepts of Print, Letter ID, F&P Summary Forms, Sight Words, Conferring Notes, Lesson Plans, etc because you can easily toggle between files.  Just follow steps 1-3.  Then instead of creating a new copy, click on the file you would like!****
