Lists

At Publica.la, we provide users with a Lists feature that enables them to organize and manage products in personalized collections. Lists serve as a convenient way for users to group products based on their reading preferences, interests, or specific needs, creating a more tailored and organized reading experience.

Creating a List​

To create a new list:

  1. Navigate to the Lists section in the user account
  2. Click on the "Create a new List" button in the top-right corner
  3. Enter a descriptive name for the list (e.g., "My first list")
  4. Select the privacy setting for the list:
    • Private: Only visible to the creator and invited collaborators
    • Public: Accessible to anyone with the link
  5. The new list will appear in the Lists panel, ready for use
note

The privacy setting must be selected during list creation and will determine the list's sharing capabilities.

Managing Lists​

Once a list has been created, users have several management options available through the list's menu (•••):

Edit List Details​

The Edit option allows users to modify their list's name and any additional settings associated with the list. This ensures lists remain relevant as user needs evolve.

Share Your List​

By clicking "Copy Link," users can generate a shareable link to their list that can be sent to others. This facilitates knowledge sharing and collaboration around curated content.

note

Only public lists can be shared. To share a private list, users must first change its privacy setting to public.

Collaborators​

The Collaborators option enables users to invite others to view or manage their list, fostering a collaborative approach to content curation and organization.

List Operations​

  • Duplicate List: Create an exact copy of an existing list with all its contents, providing a quick way to create variations of popular lists
  • Export: Download list information in a compatible format for record-keeping or sharing outside the platform
  • Delete: Remove a list that is no longer needed, helping to maintain an organized workspace

Adding Products to Lists​

Users can add products to their lists from various places in our platform:

  • From the product detail page: When viewing a product, users can add it directly to any of their lists
  • From the reader: While actively reading a product, users can add it to a list without leaving the reading experience

Products added to lists will appear in the list view, making it easy for users to access their organized content whenever they need it.

Best Practices​

To make the most of the Lists feature:

  1. Create specific lists for different topics or interests (e.g., "Professional Development," "Leisure Reading," "Must-Read")
  2. Use clear, descriptive names for lists to quickly identify their purpose
  3. Share lists with friends, colleagues, or study groups to promote collaborative learning
  4. Duplicate useful lists to create variations for different purposes or audiences

Privacy and Sharing​

Lists can be:

  • Private: Only visible to the list creator and invited collaborators
  • Public: Accessible to anyone with the link
important
  • Privacy settings are selected during list creation
  • Only public lists can be shared via link
  • Collaborators can be added to both private and public lists
  • Privacy settings can be changed after creation through the Edit option

Users can manage list privacy settings according to their needs and sharing preferences, ensuring appropriate access to their curated content.
