Once youโ€™ve created a Collection, sharing it hands the whole bundle to others as a single resource. Sharing works much like sharing an app: add recipients, set a role, done.

How to share a Collection

Open the Collection and click Share

The Share button is in the top right of the Collectionโ€™s page. You can also choose Share collection from the Collection cardโ€™s โ‹ฎ menu on the Collections list.

Add a recipient

In Search for name or emails, add a person who shares one of your organizations, a group in one of your organizations, or an organization you belong to. Each recipient is added as User as soon as you pick them. Recipients are grouped under Organizations with access, Groups with access, and Users with access.

Set each recipient's role

Choose from the role dropdown: User, Editor, or Owner (see below). Only Owners see the Owner option. Pick Remove access to revoke someone.

Done

Click Done. The Collection appears in each recipientโ€™s view, ready to use directly or add to a space.

The Share dialog for a Collection: add people or groups, then set each one's role โ€” User, Editor, or Owner.

Permission levels

Most recipients should be Users โ€” they get the apps without being able to change the bundle. Reserve Editor for trusted partners who co-curate, and Owner for co-leads who need full control.

Sharing with groups and orgs

Sharing with a group reaches everyone in it at once โ€” pair a curated app bundle with a whole team by sharing a Collection with a Group. Sharing with an organization reaches that whole org, and each org sees only its own peopleโ€™s activity. You can share only with organizations you belong to, so to deploy a starter pack across several districts, you need to be a member of each one.
You donโ€™t re-share when you change a Collection. Add or remove apps and recipients see the new set on their next visit โ€” and when an appโ€™s owner publishes a new version, that flows through too.
For cross-org deployment, permission cascade, and curation depth, see Creating and sharing a Collection, Curating a Collection, and Using a shared Collection.

Key points

  • Share a Collection much like you share an app โ€” with people, groups, or whole orgs
  • Roles: User (use), Editor (curate & share), Owner (full control, incl. delete)
  • Change a Collectionโ€™s apps anytime; recipients see updates without re-sharing

FAQ

User. It lets people use the apps without changing the Collection. Editor and Owner can modify the bundle, so reserve them for co-curators and co-leads.
Yes. Add or remove apps and recipients see the new set on their next visit โ€” no re-sharing needed. New published versions of the apps inside flow through too.
Open the Share dialog, find the person or group, and choose Remove access from their role dropdown.
No. Collections have no public setting. You share a Collection with specific people, groups, or organizations from the Share dialog.
A Collection is one resource you share once. Recipients get User access to every app inside, whatever Collection role you give them, and the bundle stays in sync as you change it, with no per-app sharing or re-sharing. To let someone edit an app, share that app with them directly.
