To share a session with your colleagues, open the session and click the "Share" button at the top right.
Who to share with
Specific people. Enter an email address and click the Add button. Remove someone by clicking the trash can icon next to their email address in the access list.
Your whole team. On Scale and Enterprise plans, share with everyone on your team at once instead of naming them individually.
Anyone with the link. Toggle on "Anyone with the link can view", then click "Copy link". This works for people without an Elicit account, and is view-only. Switch the toggle off at any time to stop sharing.
Shared sessions can be read by others but cannot be edited, unless you are on a Scale or Enterprise plan and are sharing with a member of that team. If you are on a Scale or Enterprise team and want to work in a session together, see Collaborate in a shared Research Agent session and Shared Projects.
Sharing a collection
Collections of papers are shared from your Library rather than from a session. Open the collection and use the Share button at the top right of the library to give named colleagues, or your whole team, either view or edit access. Editors can add and remove papers, so a team can maintain one evidence base together.
Collection sharing is always to signed-in people. There is no public or logged-out link for a collection. See Share a collection.
Finding what has been shared with you
Sessions and projects that someone shares with you show up on your Recents page under the "Shared with you" tab.
A green dot on Recents in the left sidebar means something new has been shared with you.
Open Recents to see what it is. New items carry their own dot, which marks them out in the list.
An item's dot stays until you open that item, not just until you look at the list, so nothing gets lost because you glanced at Recents while busy.
Once you open a shared session it stays in your Recents. A shared project appears in your Recent Projects.
Each shared item carries an icon showing how it was shared with you, distinguishing a session shared with you personally from one shared with your whole team.
Shared collections are the exception: they live in your Library, under Shared in the Collections panel, rather than in Recents.
Note: Sessions, including Research Reports, Systematic Reviews, and Agent sessions, and collections of papers can be shared. Tools, such as Find Papers, Extract Data, and Paper Chat, cannot be shared.
