Joining and contributing
A site is a shared space for a team, school, publication or project — with its own address, its own members, and content published under its name rather than yours.
#Joining one
Sites are joined by invitation rather than by request.
- A site admin sends you an invite link. Open it while signed in to Internote and you see a Join page naming the site and the role you have been invited as.
- Press Join. The site then appears in your Library overview and under the Sites tab of your Preferences.
Admins can also add you directly by email, in which case the site is waiting for you and there is no link to open.
#When a link does not work
Invite links stop working for three reasons: they were revoked, they expired, or they hit their usage limit. Any of those means asking a site admin for a fresh one.
There is one case that looks like a broken link but is not. If you were previously removed from a site, invite links will not work for your account until an admin adds you back directly.
#Contributing to one
Once you belong to a site as a contributor or admin, an Owner choice appears whenever you create an internote or a map. Keep it Personal, or hand it to the site.
Site-owned work is published under the site’s name and can be edited by the site’s other contributors. That is most of what makes a site useful for a class or a team: the material outlives whoever happened to write it.
#Handing something over later
Ownership is not only decided up front. An internote’s editor menu offers Transfer ownership to site for work that started out personal.
Transferring is a real handover, not a copy. The site’s contributors can edit it afterwards, and it is published under the site’s name from then on.
