What content can you add to your workspace?

You can, of course, add books from the Perlego library as well as any website link and cloud-based document; ensure your privacy/ sharing settings are public before adding them to your workspace. Adding content is only possible on the website at the moment, but you can view the content added on the app.

Content examples:

📓 Books on Perlego

🔗 Online articles or websites

📃 PDF's hosted on websites or in cloud storage such as Google Drive, Dropbox etc

📁 Presentations, documents & spreadsheets hosted on Google Docs, Microsoft OneDrive etc

▶️ Videos from YouTube, Vimeo, TedTalk, TikToks etc

🔈 Audio from Spotify, SoundCloud etc

Note: Known piracy websites are blocked and the content will not render

⚠️ Please remember: by adding content, you are accepting our Content Policy. We have a strict no pirated and harmful content policy.
