Inviting others to a shared library and managing its members

A shared library can have up to 20 members. If you are the admin for a shared library, you can invite new members and choose what type of access you want them to have (either an editor or a viewer).

Note 

Members of organization libraries are managed in the SMART Admin Portal.

  1. Select the library’s thumbnail to open it.
