How to Share a Gem

Sharing content in Shelf is easy and there are a few ways to accomplish this.

First and foremost, when you add content to a Shared Library, you’re automatically sharing it with the other Shelf members who have the permission to access it. Depending on their notification preferences - more on that in the Notifications section - other users may or may not receive an update by email or within the Shelf application.

If you want to make sure that someone sees a particular Gem, you can share it by:

• Selecting the Share icon after clicking on the three dots icon on the Gem in the Library

• Selecting the Share icon after clicking on the three dots icon next to the title in the Gem View and/or Edit window

This will open a window that allows you to choose who you want to share the Gem with. You’ll have the option of adding a message and when the Gem is shared, an email will be sent to the user(s) in question that will provide them with a direct link to the Gem.

**Note** If you share a Gem with someone who does not have permission to view it in Shelf they WILL receive an email with your message and a link to the Gem in question. However, when they click on the link they will be prevented from accessing the contents of the Gem.
