Tip 
  • The owner of a collection is the person who created it. In addition to the actions that an editor can perform, the owner can edit the name of the collection and delete the collection.
  • The ownership of a collection can't be transferred.
  • The Favorites collection can't be shared.

Request access to a collection

You can request access to a collection from the owner of the collection.

  • If you click a link to a collection to which you don't have access, the Collections page opens with the Request Access button. Clicking this button sends an email to the owner to request access. The owner can give you either the viewer access or the editor access to the collection.
  • If you have the viewer access to a collection, the collection shows the View Access tag on the Collections page. To request the editor access, click View Access → Request Edit Access. This sends an email to the owner to request editor access.
