6) Share Settings

In this section, you will define your techpack share settings with your manufacturers, community of designers and brands on Techpacker. 

 

 

•  Invite manufacturers and share your techpack with them. Enter their email(s) and confirm by clicking the add to list button. An invitation email will be sent out inviting them to access the techpack. 

 

• If your manufacturer has a Techpacker account, the shared techpack(s) will be added inside a new folder (named after your brand) and automatically created on their Organization page. In case they do not have an account on Techpacker, they can sign-up using the link provided in the invitation email.

 

REMEMBER! Sharing techpacks with manufacturers ONLY gives them the access to read, add comments & print the PDF versions of the techpack. They CANNOT edit!

 

•  You can choose to make your techpack public or private. Public techpacks are visible to Techpacker’s community via Explore library and can be accessed through search engines like Google.
