Share with your group

Share a handout. Not your entire Realm.

Connect with your fellow players’ accounts through a Fellowship. You can then share selected content with each other. Your Realms are separate. This page is about sharing selected content. Working together in one Realm or publishing a world for reading are separate steps.

Select, review, share

Choose individual items or put together a bundle. Embedded images travel along as required dependencies, including images from galleries and nested texts. A wizard shows you what belongs to the content, and you can add directly related items and voluntary additions. Review the preview to see what you are sharing. The other person needs a connected account and your permission to access it.

You can mark passages in a text as secret. They are left out when you share.

Content bundles also grew out of my own character journal: I wanted to share new entries with my game master without sending him another link after every session.

A copy becomes independent content

The recipient imports the content into a Realm of their own. An independent copy can be edited there. Changes to your source are not automatically transferred into that copy.

Following keeps a connection to the source

When someone follows your content, they can receive and review updates to it. They decide which changes to accept. Their own details in their Realm are separate.

What remains when you stop sharing

If you revoke an invitation link, nobody can use it again. People who have already imported your content keep it. Existing connections for updates are active.

To stop those updates too, remove the person’s access or end the Fellowship. Content they have already imported is in their Realm.

Check the fields on Pages and Profiles

A Page or Profile’s template sets which fields are shared. Check the preview before sharing. If you change the template later, existing Pages and Profiles keep their previous selection for now. A Page tells you when a new revision of its template is available, and you decide when to apply it.

Collaboration is a separate step

Content sharing does not give anyone access to your Realm. If you want to build the same Canon together, invite them as an Author or Reader in the Collaboration settings. If you want to show a finished world, enable public reading. Both are deliberate decisions, and both can be changed later.

A home for your Realm

There’s already room for your first story.

Create your first Realm, add two characters and record what connects them. Your Atlavium can grow with your stories. Compendium features will remain free within your granted allowances.
