How to add Public Groups:
TextExpander offers many ready-made Snippet groups, which you can find and add to your library, on the Public Groups page. To add a group:
- Visit Public Groups, or from the app:
- Choose File > Add Public Group from the menubar or
- Sign in to TextExpander.com and choose the plus icon next to the Public category.
- Select a group you’d like to add from the page.
- Choose Join Snippet Group. If you aren’t signed in to TextExpander.com, you will be asked to do so first.
The group is added to your library and ready to use. It is not editable, though you may duplicate the group and edit the contents of the copy.
Anyone may submit a Public Group for review and publication for any TextExpander user to use.
