Sharing a collection
Invite other people to view or edit a hosted collection, and manage their access.Which collections can be shared
Sharing is for collections hosted by mdbase Connect. A collection that stays on your computer is not shared this way. Sharing is managed in the Connect workspace at editor.mdbase.dev/connect. Open the collection and find People & sharing. Only the collection's owner sees it.
Roles
| Role | Can |
|---|---|
| Owner | Everything, including inviting and removing people. |
| Editor | Edit notes, manage types, rename the collection, and connect apps. |
| Viewer | Read the collection and connect read-only apps or synced folders. |
A viewer who opens the collection in mdbase Editor sees it read-only.
Invite someone
- Choose Invite person.
- Under Invite using, choose Verified email and enter their email address, or choose Sharing code and enter the code they gave you.
- Choose Viewer or Editor, then Create invitation.
- Copy the invitation link and send it to them yourself.
Email invitations only work for someone who already has a Connect account with that email address verified. If they signed up after you created the invitation, create a new one.
Sharing codes
Use a sharing code when you cannot invite someone by email, for example if they sign in with a different address. The person you are inviting creates the code on the Account & sessions page in the Connect workspace, under Sharing code → Generate code, and sends it to you. A code can be used once. Invitations and sharing codes expire after seven days.
Accept an invitation
Open the invitation link while signed in to the account it was created for. Connect shows A collection was shared with you. Choose Accept to add the collection to your collections, then open it in the Editor or approve other apps to use it.
Change or remove access
In People & sharing, change a person's role from the list, or choose Remove. Removing someone also revokes the apps and synced folders they connected to the collection. Invitations that have not been accepted are listed under Pending invitations, where you can cancel them.
