Sharing a collection with a colleague today, before cloud sync

Answer

Export the collection as CSV or JSON (Settings › Data), share the file, and import it on the other device. It round-trips cleanly — but it is a copy, not a sync, so nominate one device as authoritative until real sync ships.

Sync is not here yet, but people do need to hand a collection to someone else, so here is what actually works.

Export, then import.

  1. Settings › Data → tap the collection → Export CSV or Export JSON
  2. Send the file however you normally send files, or drop it in shared cloud storage
  3. They import it: into an existing collection, or as a new one

SweepTag's own exports re-import cleanly, so nothing is lost in the round trip — which also makes this a decent backup habit regardless.

The caveat worth stating plainly: this is a copy, not a sync. Two people editing after the export produces two divergent collections and no merge. Until sync ships, pick one device as the authoritative one and re-export from it.
