Share Collections
In your Recipe Box, you can create Collections and add recipes to them. To find out more, see this article. You can share those Collections but please note there is a limitation. Specifically, if you or someone with whom you've shared a Collection makes any changes to the recipes in that Collection, those changes will not be visible to you or anyone else who has access to that Collection.
To share a collection:
- Tap Saved icon at the top (my.whisk.com) or bottom (native apps) of the screen.
- Select Collections tab at the top of the screen.
- Find and select the Collection you’d like to share.
- Tap the share icon or in the top right corner of the screen.
- A pop up will appear where you can choose to share your collection by email, link, text, social media, and more.
- When you share a collection, the recipient will be able to view the collection even if they don’t have a Whisk account. They’ll also have the option to sign up for a Whisk account and save the collection to their own recipe box.
