🔗 Ways to Share Boards
Family: Share any board within your Family Space (up to 4 boards)

➕ How to Add Members to Boards
You can invite people from your Family or Workspace space to collaborate on any board. Each board's access is controlled individually, so you choose who sees what.
Note: If you're trying to add a user to a board that is not currently part of the space itself, a notification will be sent to your space-admin and they will need to approve the request and add the user as a member first.
