## What Can Be Shared

Lists and contacts are the only things that can be shared and collaborated around today.

Note

Coming soon: individual document, task, email and inbox sharing.

## Sharing Lists

Lists are the primary way to collaborate in Micro. By default, all lists you create are shared with everyone in your workspace, but you have full control over sharing settings.

### Default Sharing Behavior

When you create a new list, it’s automatically shared with all workspace members. This ensures your team can access important workflows like fundraising, sales, or hiring pipelines.

### Customizing List Sharing

You can modify sharing settings for any list:

1. **Access List Settings** — Open any list and click the settings icon in the top right.

2. **Modify Sharing** — Click “Sharing” to see current sharing settings.

3. **Choose Collaborators** — Select from these sharing options:

   - **Private** - Only you can see and edit the list
   - **Workspace** - All workspace members can access (default)
   - **Specific People (Internal or External)** - Share with individual workspace members or people outside your workspace

4. **Choose Access** — Select from these access options:

   - **View Only** - Other people can only view the list
   - **Edit** - Full edit access

5. **Save Changes** — Your sharing settings are applied immediately and any invites will be sent.

### External List Sharing

When you share a list with someone outside your workspace, they’ll receive an email notification with a link to access the list. The shared list appears in their “Shared” section at the bottom of the left sidebar. They must accept the invitation to access the list.

## Sharing Contacts

All contacts from your connected accounts (email, calendar, etc.) are automatically shared with all workspace members. This includes:

- **People profiles** - Names, email addresses, social profiles, enriched data
- **Company profiles** - Company information, industry data, employee counts
- **Activity feeds** - High-level activity like “had a meeting” or “sent an email”
- **Relationship data** - Connection strength, last contact, etc.

Email and message content is not directly shared.

## Live Collaboration

Micro provides real-time collaboration features that let you see your team working alongside you. When multiple people are viewing the same content, you’ll see:

- **Presence indicators** - Small avatars showing who’s currently viewing the page
- **Activity highlights** - Visual indicators when someone is editing

Micro’s collaboration features are designed to make teamwork seamless while respecting your privacy. Start with the default sharing settings and customize as your team’s needs evolve.
