Collaborate by Agreement

Features in this chapter

1. Collaboration

At a glance

Share outcomes, not accounts

What it does

Work with others through explicit agreements that describe what may be shared and for how long.

How it works

Each person retains control of their own data and subscriptions; a scoped agreement governs shared activities and withdrawal.

How to use it

Invite a collaborator, review a bounded agreement and approve only the intended information exchange.

What you control

You control which people receive invitations, what information or outcomes a sharing agreement covers, and whether a connection stays authorized. You can withdraw permission within the agreed rules.

Example

Plan a fictional community event with separate responsibilities.

What it is not

Collaboration is not unrestricted access to another person’s records or paid accounts.
