How do I share a page?

Pages are shared with everyone on your account by default. You can make pages private or choose whom to share with by clicking the "Change" link next to the sharing status at the top of the page.

You'll then see the following options:
share this page

You can share a page with other people even if they don't have a Backpack account. Watch this video to see how that works.

Important note: You should not publicly share pages with sensitive data (password, keywords, private information) as public pages can be viewed by anyone.

Do people I share with have to have a Backpack account?

Yes. If you share a page with someone who doesn't have a Backpack account, they'll be prompted to set up an account before they can view your page.

How do I stop sharing a page with someone? How do I share a page with more people?

Go to the page and click the "Change" link next to the sharing status at the top of the page.

To remove access, uncheck the box next to the name of the person you no longer wish to have access to the page. They'll no longer be able to access the page or see it in their pages list. On the other hand, you can also select more people to share the page with.

Then click the "Save my changes" button at the bottom of the screen.

Why aren't files showing up on publicly shared pages?

Files are not included on publicly shared pages. The body, list, notes, and images are displayed, but files aren't.

Can I share a page as "read only" without making it public?

No, it's only possible to share a page publicly in "read-only" format (i.e. people can view the page but not add to or edit it). If you share a page with friends, they will be able to edit it.
