Shared Prototypes - Management

If you own a shared prototype or you are the owner of an account which stores any shared prototype, then you have some extra operations you can perform. All these operations can be accessed from the same dialog that pops up when selecting ‘Manage shared prototypes’ from the ‘Teamwork’ menu.

When selecting ‘Manage shared prototypes’, a new dialog pops up showing all the shared prototypes you have permission to modify:

Rename

To change the name of a shared prototype, first select the prototype from the list of shared prototypes and then click on ‘Rename’. A new dialog will pop up displaying a input box. Introduce the new name for the prototype and click ‘Ok’.

Manage users

To grant or revoke permissions to users for a specific prototype, select the prototype from the list and then click on ‘Add/Remove users’. For more information about Add/Remove users please check out the ‘Manage users’ operation.

Change owner

The owner of a prototype has some extra privileges. When a user becomes owner of a prototype, he can see it when executing ‘Manage shared prototypes’ and perform any of the operations described here. However, this specific operation can only be performed by the owner of the account where the shared prototype is stored.

When the button ‘Change owner’ is pressed, a dialog pops up showing a list of all possible owner candidates. Notice that only account publishers are owner candidates.

Delete

To delete a prototype along with all its revisions, select it from the list and click ‘Delete’. A confirmation dialog will pop up before executing the operation:

Write the word ‘DELETE’ to confirm the execution.

This operation will delete the prototype and all its sharing information (revisions, invited users, history, etc.). Once deleted, all the users who were working on this prototype will not be able to commit changes again and their prototypes will turn into non-shared prototypes so they can still keep the work.
