Help / Share and work together / Share a project

Share a project

Send one project to a person you are connected with. Nothing is shared until you choose it.

First connect with the person. If nobody is connected yet, press “Add a collaborator” in the share card. The invite opens on the same page, so you do not leave the project. When the person connects, the share opens with their name chosen. The button stays under the list, so you can add a second collaborator the same way.

Steps

1. Open the project page and press “Share”. A card opens under the title.
2. Choose the person under “Share with”. With one collaborator, the person is chosen for you.
3. Read what the share sends. Then press “Share only”. To hand the project over too, press “Share + hand off”.

You can also start a share on “Who can see this”: press “Share with” and the person’s name. The same card opens.

When it worked

The share shows up in the other person's Inbox. See Accept a share.

On “Who can see this”, each person shows how far the share has come. It says how much was sent to them, or that it arrived on their computer.

More about this

Before you press, Nearfield tells you what will travel. See What a share sends. On the project page, you can also press “Check this project before you share”. It finds which samples can be sent.

In the beta, a share goes directly from your computer to theirs. It arrives only while both computers are on and online at the same time. Cloud sharing, which brings a share while the other computer is off, comes in an update.

A plugin that works on your computer may not open on theirs. See Plugins on your collaborator's computer.

Stop sharing

On “Who can see this”, open the menu beside a person. Press “Stop sharing”. Everyone keeps their local copy. The other person’s Inbox tells them. See When sharing stops.
