# Share a recipe collection in Souschef

> Invite people to a shared folder of recipes — a household weeknight pile, not a copy of everyone’s whole library.

Bookmarks stay personal. A shared collection is the recipes this group actually cooks from — a household “weeknight dinners” pile, not a copy of everyone’s whole library.

Sharing uses the same private-link model as [shopping lists](/using/share-shopping-list): the owner shares **edit** or **view**, and friends open the link in the app and sign in to join.

## Share a collection

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open a collection you own">
    In **Bookmarks**, tap **Collections** and open the folder you want to share. See [Organize & Search](/using/organize-and-search) if you haven’t created one yet.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Share an edit or view link">
    Choose whether people can add and remove recipes (**edit**) or only browse (**view**), then send the private link.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Friends join in the app">
    They open the link in Souschef and sign in. The collection then appears under **Bookmarks** with a **Shared** badge and **Shared by \[name]**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Who can do what

* **Owner** — rename, add or remove recipes, share, remove people, and delete the collection.
* **Editor** — add or remove recipes from their own saved recipes. They can’t rename, share, or delete the collection.
* **Viewer** — browse and open recipes only.
* **Web visitor** — browse titles and cards. They can’t join or edit until they open the collection in the app. Checking items off isn’t a thing for collections.

<Note>
  The web is for peeking. Adding recipes and keeping the collection in Bookmarks
  happens in the iOS or Android app.
</Note>

## Use a shared collection

Members can open every recipe in the collection — cook, [pin](/using/pinned-recipes), and more — even if they never saved it themselves.

To add a recipe, it must already be saved or created in that person’s library. You can’t drop in a random URL from the collection screen.

If you don’t own the collection, you can leave it. You can rejoin later with the same still-active link.

Deleting a collection does not delete the recipes. Owner delete is permanent for the folder; members just lose access.
