# Creating course-wide snippets

Course-wide snippets are linked to a course and shared by all graders in that course, only available in a specific course.

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

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.
