# Share Collections

> Share your collections with anyone — they'll see a preview and be invited to join Snag

## Overview

Share any collection as a link. Anyone with the link sees a **preview of the first 3 snags** in their browser, with the rest locked behind a download prompt. This gives recipients a taste of what's inside and invites them to get Snag to import the full collection.

***

## Sharing a Collection

1. Tap **Collections** and open the collection you want to share
2. Tap the **Share** icon in the top right corner
3. If any snags in the collection haven't been synced to the cloud yet, Snag will upload them first
4. A share link is generated — tap **Copy Link** or use the iOS share sheet to send via Messages, Mail, or any app

***

## What the Recipient Sees

When someone opens your share link in a browser:

* **First 3 snags** are shown in full — title, description, thumbnail
* **Remaining snags** are blurred with a lock overlay showing how many more are inside
* Three options are presented:
  * **Start Free on the Web** — sign up at cloud.snaglinks.com (recommended)
  * **Open in Snag App** — opens directly if they already have Snag installed
  * **Download on the App Store / Google Play** — for new users

***

## Importing a Shared Collection

When someone with the Snag app taps **Open in Snag App**:

1. The app opens and shows a preview of the collection and item count
2. They tap **Add to My Snag**
3. All snags are copied into their own library as a new collection instantly

## Stopping a Share

To deactivate a share link:

1. Open the collection
2. Tap the **⋯** menu → **Stop Sharing**

The link immediately stops working for anyone who has it.

<Warning>
  Be mindful of what you share — anyone with the link can preview the first 3 snags without an account. Avoid sharing collections with private or sensitive content.
