P: Enable the pick/reject flag, star rating & tag function for albums shared w collaborators

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Insert the possibility for collaborators to be able to use the V (selected) and X (reject) flags in the shared photos and also the star rating. Additionally, contributors can't use tags in shared albums.
It is very important that these possibilities are active because it helps to work the photographs faster between the various teams to which the photo albums have been shared.

Hello Adobe Team,

I have been utilizing the shared album feature to collaborate with other photographers and share our images. However, I've noticed that contributors are currently unable to rate, flag, or remove photos within the shared album. It would greatly enhance the organization of our photos if these functionalities were available to contributors.

Additionally, I have come across another issue regarding the import process. Currently, there is no option to filter files while importing, such as separating JPEGs and RAW files, which can make it challenging to import only one format type without any difficulties.

Thank you for considering this suggestion to improve the importing functionality.

Are there any updates concerning this issue? It has been some time since it has been requested.

1 year later...... still can't rate and flag in..... time to serch another apllication???

I'm paying the extra >40% for the "collaborative Teams experience" and getting none of it. Lots of app problems. Lightroom in particular seems to have been completely forgotten by Adobe. There's nothing collaborative about it. Other members of the team cannot operate my albums. Images have to be exported to be able to use them anywhere. There are other editing gallery programs that are much more versatile. Really not good value.

Hey @Kavita Srivastav do you know if this ever made any progress? An update would be much appreciated.

Hi @benjaming35242555 

I'll reply on behalf of my teammate @Kavita Srivastav 

This hasn't been addressed yet, however there are aspirations within the team to improve our sharing experience.  We will remind the team of this request!

[benjaming35242555]

Thanks for responding. This would definitely be a great improvement to collaborative team working!

[Lisa36065257uepa]

come on... it has been 4 years since you guys promised to fix it. it's a simple code to implement. fix it

Its insane this simple yet massively useful feature is not availible. 

I suggest to everyone to start using Google Drive or Dropbox, collaboration tools with adobe get a 0/10.

[jetlagstudio]

Truly insane. There has been no work to any of the collaborative tools in years.

2 ways Adobe could make life MUCH easier for Lightroom users who wish to collaborate:

1.) Ability to STAR and FLAG photos in shared Album

Currently if I share an album with someone she can't star or flag the photos. I can not comprehend the reason for that as a bulk part of the job of photographers is to select the good photos. Why can't I share an album and ask a collegue or collaborator to review and select photos?

2.) Ability to share FOLDERS and not just Albums

I dont understand why it is not possible to share an entire folder with multiple albums in it. This is also useful when you categorize a lot of photos into different albums, but you want to share the entire project with someone. 

It seems 2 very minor change on Adobe's side that would help collaboration a lot.

I'm working as a freelance photographer and just had a shooting für an agency. I imported the pictures into my lightroom (classic), synced up the albums with adobe cloud and then shared them from lightroom (cloud) with the adobe-id of the agency's people. In the sharing settings i selected that they can even edit the pictures, not just look at them. now it turns out - they can not rate them? they can just highlight favorites but they can not set star-ratings? so they can actually edit the pictures, do whatever they like, but the can not rate them? what is going on here?

[JohanElzenga]

No, editing and changing metadata are two different things. You can allow them to edit shared photos, but not change ratings. The latter is simply not supported, so perhaps you should file this as a feature request in the 'Ideas' section.

This is a very important functionality for collaborative workflows to make sense. Please implement this ASAP.
