(11) How to … use the Share tab to Collaborate on Thortspace spheres
Andrew wants to share the sphere he’s making about the family holiday with Jenny, so she can join in.
Thortspace supports 3 ways of sharing spheres with your friends and colleagues:
(1) You can share with your facebook friends by selecting them from a list:
There is an article about how to connect your facebook friendslist up to Thortspace here:
(2) You can share via an email address:
(3) Or you can share with a URL, by pasting it into a chat window … this is what I’m going to do below:
Open the ‘share’ tab.
Tap (or click) the Share button.
Tap (or click) the Get URL button.
The sharing URL is copied onto the device clipboard.
Go to a messenger window and choose paste.
When a recipient clicks the link, they will be added as a collaborator on the sphere.
The steps above are demonstrated in the video below:
