Sharing Libraries

Hi Brian,

There are two ways you can collaborate on the libraries.

1) Invite your collaborators and provide just 'View Access'

2) Create a public link, and enable the 'Follow' option

We recommend doing number 1 since, it provides you more control over who has access to the library.

As for using elements from a 'View only' Library, seems like you have some type of issue going on. Shared libraries with view only should enable those options.

In the picture below, a collaborator with 'View only' access should have a lock next to the library icon, and still should have access to those two options. We will work on figuring out why the issue is present in some of your machines.

Another option to place unliked elements is to press the "alt/option" key in mac while you drag the elements into the canvas/artboard. That should be the shortcut to the Place unlikes option in the context menu. You can try that and see if it works.

As a last resource you can always place the linked element and unlink it manually from the layers panel (Ps) or the links panel (Ai, Id)

Hi Brian - yes, you can do this.  By default, dragging graphics out of a library will create a linked graphic.  However, if you right click on the graphic element in the library, you can see an option to 'place a copy' which will place an un-linked copy of the graphic element in your document.
