Share a folder or catalog on your phone

Using a computer? See Share a folder or catalog on your computer.

Invite someone by email to work with you on a whole folder or on a single catalog. They join as a Collaborator once they accept.

Before you start

• You must be an Owner of the folder (or, for a catalog that is not in a folder, own the catalog). Anyone else can see who has access but cannot invite.
• You need a connection. Offline, the sharing controls are dimmed.
• Your plan sets how many collaborators you can have.

Folder or catalog?

• Share a folder to give access to every catalog in it, now and later.
• Share a catalog to give access to that one catalog only. The person can work on its lots but cannot export, delete or share it. See Owners and collaborators: who can do what.

Steps

1. Find the people icon:
   • on a folder's row or a catalog's row on the Catalogs page, or
   • at the right of the name at the top of a catalog's page.
2. Tap it. The Collaborators sheet opens, listing everyone with access.
3. Under Invite by email, type the person's email address.
4. Tap Send.

Invitation sent to the address appears, and the address joins the list with a Pending label. The person gets an email, and if they already have a LotJitsu account, an alert as well.

Withdraw an invitation or remove someone

• Withdraw: tap the X on a Pending row. There is no confirmation.
• Remove: tap the X on a person's row. Their access ends straight away and they are not told. There is no confirmation.

To make someone an Owner of a folder, or back to Collaborator, tap their role label. See Owners and collaborators: who can do what.

Good to know

• The person must accept with the same email address you invited.
• An invitation lasts 14 days. To resend, withdraw it and invite the address again.
• If your plan has a collaborator limit, the sheet title shows it, for example Collaborators (2/3 used). At the limit the invitation is not sent, and you see Limit Reached, for example "You have used 3 of 3 collaborators. Manage your account at lotjitsu.com." Swipe it down or tap outside it to close it. One person counts once however many things you share with them, and you never count.
• An invitation has already been sent to this email means a live invitation is already pending.
• Sharing a catalog with someone who already has it shows a message that they already have access.
• The plain people icon means only you have access; the icon with a share mark means others do.
