    💡Setting Up Collaborators

    Give a trusted person access to exactly the documents you choose — nothing more.

    Why setting up collaborators matters

    • Your backup person always has what they need. If something unexpected happens, your spouse, child, or trusted contact will still have access to key documents.
    • Share only what you choose. Collaborators can only see the sections or documents you specifically grant. No over-sharing.
    • Keeps your family organized. Passports, insurance cards, tax forms, medical contacts — all in one place for the people who rely on you.

    How to set up a collaborator

    Step 1: Open your Settings

    Click your name in the bottom-left corner and select Settings.

    Open Settings from your profile menu in the bottom-left corner

    Step 2: Go to "Collaborators"

    In the Settings sidebar, click Collaborators.

    Select the Collaborators tab in Settings

    Step 3: Click "Add Collaborator"

    Under Personal Collaborators, press the green Add Collaborator button.

    Click the green Add Collaborator button

    Step 4: Enter their details and choose permissions

    Add their name and email, choose an access level, and select exactly which sections they can view. When you're done, click Send Invitation.

    Enter the collaborator's details, set the access level, and choose which vault sections to share

    What your collaborator sees

    Once you send the invitation:

    1. They receive an email invitation.
    2. They click the link to log in or create a free account.
    3. In the bottom-left corner they'll see their name. Clicking it reveals Shared Vaults and the name of the person who shared a vault with them.
    4. They can only see the items you selected — nothing else in your vault.
