Open Cranes

Pages shared with you, and the Library

Read pages other people shared with you, use them in your answers, make one yours, or find public ones in the Library.

When someone shares one of their pages with you, it’s listed under Shared with you in the sidebar, below Pages, in every workspace. A dot marks one that changed since you last read it.

Read it

Choose a page under Shared with you. It reads as it does for the person who shared it, with its quotes and figure, and it keeps up as their thinking changes. Under the title, it says who it’s from and when it was last updated.

If they archived it or their thinking moved on, it says so. You keep the last version, and it no longer updates.

Use it in your answers

While a page is in your Shared list, it can shape your answers, in Cranes threads and in your connected AIs, when it bears on what you ask. It’s credited to the person who shared it, as their view, not yours. It isn’t used when you ask for the team or a group, and Cranes never learns from it into your own thinking.

Make it yours

  1. Choose ⋯ beside its title, then Make it yours…
  2. Choose Make it mine.

It goes into Just me, in the workspace you’re in, as an entry credited to the person who shared it, and Cranes learns from it like anything else you add. It leaves your Shared list and no longer updates from them.

Remove it

Choose ⋯ beside its title, then Remove from Shared. It stops shaping your answers. To bring it back, open it again from its link and choose ⋯ › Add to Shared.

The Library

Library, in the account menu, is a shelf of pages people made public. Search by idea, title, or person, and sort by Newest or Most added. Each card shows the page’s figure or title, its opening lines, who wrote it, and how many people added it.

Choose a card to read the page. Choose Add on the card, or ⋯ › Add to Shared on the page, to put it in your Shared list.

A link to a public page opens for anyone, even without Cranes. A link shared with anyone in Cranes asks you to sign in. A page shared only with certain people opens only for them, signed in with the email it was shared to.
