Using the app
Sharing
Bundle part of your graph into one pack and send it out. A pack carries nodes, their links and the documents that mention those nodes. You see everything in the pack before it goes, and it goes only once you pick where.
Where sharing starts
Where you start depends on how you want to set the scope.
- Share on a node card: bundles the nodes within two steps of that node.
- Right-click a node > Share from here: the same as Share on the card.
- Shift-drag in 3D: select the nodes in an area, then press Share as a pack (n).
- Settings > Data > Share: choose everything, one topic, or what you are looking at. Share a pack in the command palette opens this tab too.
Choosing the scope
This is the Share tab in Settings. Choose a scope and press Continue to go on to the pack sheet below.
- Everything Bundles the whole graph.
- One topic Bundles only the nodes in the chosen topic. The demo has no topic list, so it is off.
- What I'm looking at Bundles the scope the View is showing right now. Open the View first to pick it.
- Create a full backup pack Downloads everything as one file, for moving to a new device or an MCP client.
- Continue Opens the pack sheet with the scope you chose.
In an account with team spaces you also pick which space the pack is made from. Pick another space and its pack comes into the space you are in. Moving things between your personal space and a team space happens here too.
Checking what leaves
Press Share on a node card and the Share as a pack sheet opens. Only what you see here leaves in the pack.
- Scope Shows where the bundle starts from.
- Counts Counts the concepts, records, decisions, links and documents that leave. All zeros means an empty pack, so pick the scope again.
- Included list The nodes that leave, with their topics. Untick one to leave it out, and the counts above drop with it.
- Share Moves on to choosing where it goes. The pack is still with you at this point.
You do not pick documents separately. The documents that mention the included nodes go along. Your pins, tags and usage stay with you and are not put in the pack.
Choosing where it goes
After Share, the same counts table shows the places it can go. The pack is the same; only the destination differs.
- My space: appears when you are in a team space. Copies into your personal graph and leaves the team's copy as it is.
- Community: appears in the web app. Choosing it opens Community's share step with the pack attached. Pick the wiki page, talk thread or lounge post it belongs with and publish it as a pack share. Anyone can see it, and any signed-in member can add it to their graph. Set a username in your account before publishing.
- Pack file: downloads a
.vincpackfile to keep or hand to someone.
If the pack file is the only choice, it downloads without asking, as in the desktop app's personal space. Sending to a space shows a progress bar and then how many items landed. If it stops partway, what already landed stays, and sending again fills in the rest.
Receiving a pack
Bring in a pack you received with Import on Putting knowledge in. It merges into your graph; anything already there is updated in place and never duplicated.
