The Sharing application embedded in Limecraft Flow allows users to easily and securely share individual clips or collections of material with third parties without granting them full access in their Workspace. 


This article explains how you can collaborate on shared material by reviewing, approving and uploading material by the use of a shared link.



Accessing a Share via a shared link


Limecraft Sharing functionality gives the option to invite an external collaborator to share a selection of material on a Limecraft workspace. This can happen via an email containing the link, or via another communication channel. The configuration when creating the link determines the security level and permissions to the material.

In case the producer of the shared link set up authentication, you may need to provide your name and/or a password to access the content.

Review Status

In case material is shared for the purpose of review and approval, you can do so by setting the status of each clip.


  • Open the clip by clicking on it.
  • Select the review status from the dropdown list in the right upper corner.

Commenting

Collaborate with the team members and other collaborators with comments by adding pinned and unpinned comments.

Collaborate with mentions and replies

You can use the @ character to reveal a list of people to mention and draw their attention to your comment. The list will contain users with access to the share. Mentioning a user will send them an email notification with a link to your comment.


Use Hashtags

Using hashtags is a great tool to collect important metadata which can be used on Limecraft Workspace to search media containing specific keywords.


The below example uses a hashtag #rainbow.
