Collections, Ask, People, and Places

How ShareLocket gathers your circle's posts into collections, asking your circle a question, and its People and Places pages.

• What is a collection?

  A collection gathers your circle's posts about one thing, like recipes or a trip. Here's where to find them and the ways to look at one.

• Find everything in Collections & more

  Everyone in your circle, everything you've talked about, and every sharing album made there, all in one place under Collections & more.

• How ShareLocket organizes your circle

  How ShareLocket gathers shared posts into collections, how you decide on a suggested one, and how to turn this off for your own posts.

• Make, hide, and merge collections

  Start a collection yourself, let ShareLocket gather it or pick the posts, hide one, join two into one, and choose which collections a post is in.

• Choosing what kind of collection it is

  Tell ShareLocket what a collection holds, such as recipes, a list, or stories, so it gathers the right details and shows them the right way.

• Reading a collection

  Read a collection of letters and stories a page at a time, in the words people wrote, with text you can enlarge and a list of contents.

• Saving a collection as a book

  See a whole collection as one document, with a cover and contents, then save it as a PDF or print it to keep.

• Tables in your circle

  Choose a table's columns, sort, group, and filter it, read its totals, and open the post behind any row. The cards sort, group, and filter too.

• Charts and maps in a collection

  See a number from your collection over time as a chart, with a line for each person, or see where your posts happened on a map.

• Music and videos in your circle

  Play the music and videos in a collection one after another, and choose whether an audio post is filed as music, a voice recording, or unknown.

• Fix a value in a collection

  Correct a name, a date, a number, or a list in a collection right where you see it. Your fix stays, and everyone can see who made it.

• Add your own item to a collection

  Type an item straight into any collection, such as who's bringing the plates. It saves on its own and shows who added it, with their picture.

• Amounts, dates, and ages in a collection

  How a collection shows money, times, and measures, scales a recipe to the servings you need, and shows how old someone was in a photo.

• Ticking off a shared list

  Tick things off a list your circle keeps together, so everyone can see what is done, and who took care of it.

• Recipes in your circle

  Recipes shared in your circle can be gathered into a collection, and anyone in the circle can add one or take one out.

• Documents and records in your circle

  Letters, certificates, and other papers can be gathered into a collection, and you can read and correct the words we read from them.

• Gift ideas in your circle

  Add, edit, and remove gift ideas for people in your circle, with clear labels showing who added each one or which post it came from.

• Ask your circle a question

  Type a question where you'd normally search, and get an answer from your circle's own posts.

• Ask about counts, dates, and ages

  Ask how many, when, or how long ago, and get an answer worked out from your circle's own posts, with the posts it used so you can check.

• Tagging people in your circle

  Name the people in a photo or post shared to your circle. Members you tag get a notification; anyone else just gets their name on the post.

• The People page in your circle

  See circle members and the people and pets named or tagged in posts, fix a name, and tell us when two entries are the same person, or not.

• Relationships in your circle

  Explore how the people in your circle are related, with the posts each link comes from, as a diagram or as a list you can read.

• The Places page in your circle

  See the places your circle has talked about, open one to find the posts and photos that mention it, and put a name right.

• See your circle's places on a map

  See the places your circle has written about on a map, and put a place on the map, move its pin, or take it off.

• How much of your location your circle sees

  For each circle you belong to, choose whether your posts show the exact spot, the general area, or nowhere at all.

• Your bio in a circle

  Write a few words about yourself for each of your circles. Everyone there sees them beside your name, and you can change or clear them.
