How to Open an App Shared With You

How to Open an App Shared With You

When someone adds you as a team member, you can open their app from your own Pabbly Studio account. What you can do in the app depends on the role they gave you: Viewer or Editor.

You do not need a paid plan to be a team member. A Free plan account can open apps shared with it.

To open an app shared with you, follow the steps below:

1. Check your notification. When someone shares an app with you, you get a notification. Click the bell icon at the top right to see it. It shows who shared the app and your role.

2. Open Shared with me. Click the Settings (gear) icon in the left sidebar, then click the Team Members tab. The Shared with me list opens first. It shows every app shared with you, who shared it, and your role. Click an app's name to open it.

3. Work on the app as an Editor. The app opens in the builder. At the top of the chat, a label shows your role and who shared the app with you. As an Editor, you can send messages to change the app, just like the owner.

4. See the credits a message used. Hover over the time under a reply to see how many AI credits it used. These credits are taken from the owner's account, not yours. Even a question asked in Plan mode uses a few credits.

5. View the app as a Viewer. If your role is Viewer, you can see the preview, the files and the versions. You cannot send messages or make changes. A note at the bottom of the chat tells you that you have view access.

Things to know about shared apps

• Shared apps are not on your dashboard. Your dashboard shows only your own apps. You can always find shared apps in Settings › Team Members › Shared with me.
• Shared apps do not count towards your plan. They do not use any of your app limit.
• Changes use the owner's AI credits. When you change a shared app as an Editor, the credits come from the owner's account, not yours. If the owner runs out of credits, you will see a message, and you need to ask them to add more.
• Need to make changes? If you are a Viewer and need to edit the app, ask the owner to change your role to Editor.
