Sharing Your Snippet Groups

Only you can expand the Snippet Groups you create because they are not shared with anyone else. You can easily share a Snippet Group with others so they can expand, edit, or manage it, too! Sharing your Snippet Groups with others helps everyone maintain consistency, improves efficiency, and helps with knowledge sharing. It’s also a great way for others to see how you use TextExpander!

Where to find your Snippet Groups

TextExpander Mac and Windows app: In the “Just Me” folder in the left sidebar. 

TextExpander.com: In the “My Snippets” folder on the left sidebar.
Your Snippet Groups have an individual user icon next to their name.

How to share Personal Snippet Groups

1. Sign in to your TextExpander.com account.
2. Select “My Snippets” on the left sidebar, under your name.
3. Find the Snippet Group you’d like to share and click the ‘Invite Users’ icon on the right.
4. Click on “Just Me” to expand the dropdown.

From here, you can select either Shared or Everyone.

• You can give specific people “Can edit” or “Can manage” permissions.
  • “Can edit” permission lets members create and edit Snippets within the Snippet Group
  • “Can manage” permission lets members create and edit Snippets and manage the Snippet Group’s access and settings.
