Collections are private by default — only you can see them. But sometimes you need other people involved: a colleague gathering research, a friend contributing to a shared reading list, or a team curating resources together. Membership works at the collection level: you choose which collections to share and invite people to each one individually. Nested collections are included automatically. Everything else stays private.
If you just want to publish a read-only link for anyone on the web, use a public page instead.

​
Inviting members

1
Open the collection you want to share.
2
Click the Share button in the top-right corner.
If the Share button is not visible, make sure you are inside a specific collection — sharing is not available from “All bookmarks” or “Unsorted”.
3
Switch to the Collaboration tab to manage existing members or invite new ones.
4
Click Invite to create a unique join link. Send this link to anyone you want to add.
Invite links are reusable — the same link works for multiple people without needing to generate a new one each time.

​
Setting permissions

Every member has one of two roles:
RoleCan viewCan add, edit, delete
MemberYesYes
Read-onlyYesNo
The collection owner always has full control: managing members, changing roles, and revoking access.
If the collection owner has a Pro plan, every member gains access to full-text search on that collection — even without their own Pro subscription.

​
Removing members

Open the collection, click Share → Collaboration, and remove the person from the list. Access is revoked immediately.
