# Creating course-wide snippets

Course-wide snippets are available for a specific course and are automatically available to all graders in all assignments of that course.

{% hint style="success" %}
Next to making grading more efficient for you and your graders, creating course-wide snippets forces you to think about common and expected errors and mistakes during your assignments, which is always a good practice.
{% endhint %}

Create new snippets in your course by following these steps:

![Creating new course-wide snippets](/files/QQDdf0twoawfVstt7k0M)

1. Choose any course and click on the **Course Settings** button present on the right of the screen. 
2. Go to the **Snippets** tab and click on the **New snippet** button (+ symbol).
3. Enter a *name* and the *replacement text* for the snippet in the respective input fields, and press **Save**. This snippet can now be used anywhere throughout this particular course.

{% hint style="success" %}
Personal snippets and course-wide snippets can have the same keywords, these can then be used and selected next to each other.
{% endhint %}
