How to share a collection

In this step-by-step guide we will help you share an existing collection with your colleagues.

How to share the collection

We have the possibility available that you can share a collection with colleagues that have the same access rights assigned.

If you are the owner of the collection, you have the option “Share” available at the top. This will then open a dialog with the option to select users and with a list of users that have already access to this collection.

The creator of the collection is always listed as the owner. 

ShareDialog empty

 To select users you click into the search field below “Share with”. A list of all available users will appear in the dropdown. 

Important: To ensure that all users have access to the full content, we only allow sharing with users with the same access as the owner. 

When users are selected, they appear in the list below with their access rights. The sharing will get active once the action is confirmed with “Apply”.  
ShareDialog filled
Once the collection is shared an indicator on the collections details page tells with how many users the collection is shared.

How to get notified about shared collections? 

By default we turned on the notifications for you. This means that you will receive inside newron a notification as well as an email to your inbox.

Of course you can change these settings on the notification preferences  page .

What does “can view” mean?

“Can view” means that the respective person can see all the content of the collection. Download and copy it, but not do any adjustments to the original collection.
