Sharing

Sharing through iCloud
Sprig shares recipes with iCloud, so the people you invite don't need to sign up for anything new. They just need Sprig and an iCloud account.
- Open the recipe and tap Share in the toolbar.
- Choose Collaborate via iCloud….
- Decide whether to Include my cooking journal (see below).
- Tap Choose People and send the invitation through Messages, Mail or another app. The system sharing screen lets you choose who can take part and whether they can make changes.
Once a recipe is shared, its Share button shows a people icon, and the recipe page gets a Shared with section listing everyone you've invited. Each person shows whether they've accepted yet and whether they have edit access or can only view.
To add or remove people or change their access, use Share again. To stop sharing completely, choose Share > Stop Sharing.
Receiving a shared recipe
Open the invitation on a device with Sprig installed. Sprig confirms the recipe was accepted, and it appears in Shared with Me:
- iPad and Mac: in the sidebar
- iPhone: in the Browse tab
Shared recipes show who shared them, and you'll see the owner's latest version. They also show a people icon in your Library.
If a recipe hasn't turned up yet, open Shared with Me and pull down, or tap Check Again. If Sprig can't reach iCloud, it tells you so and offers Try Again.
Sharing your journal
Each shared recipe has a Share my journal switch in its Journal section. It's off by default, so your ratings and notes stay private.
When you turn it on, your entries are visible to everyone on that share, and theirs appear alongside yours with their name on them. Anyone on the share who turns it on as well will see your notes and share theirs with you.
On a Mac, you can set the name shown next to your entries in Settings > iCloud > Your name on shared journals. If you leave it blank, Sprig uses your device name.
Sending a recipe as text
To send a recipe to someone who doesn't use Sprig, tap Share > Send as Text. The title, ingredients and steps are sent as plain text through any app you like.
Sharing a shopping list
To send your shopping list to someone, open Shopping, then Options > Share List. See Shopping List.
