We’ve made it easier for you and your colleagues to work together in the same custom catalogue! Previously, custom catalogues could only be edited by the creator, but you now have the option to make the catalogues collaborative so that other users in your CataList account can view, edit, publish, or delete them. We’ve also made changes to the Add-to-Catalogue button so that it’s easier for you to find your custom catalogues.

Revert a collaborative custom catalogue
As the catalogue creator, you can change your collaborative custom catalogue back to private at any time. However, if your colleague is making edits to your catalogue at the same time you are changing it back to a private custom catalogue, their changes could be lost. Make sure all edits have been saved first before changing the catalogue’s status back to private.
Identify collaborative custom catalogues
After you or another user in your account have created a collaborative custom catalogue, the catalogue will display alongside your private custom catalogues when you view the Custom Catalogues tab in My Page, and when you add titles to a catalogue using the Add-to-catalogue button. You can identify the collaborative custom catalogues by the multi-person icon next to the catalogue name in various areas of the site:
My Page
Click the Type column header to sort the catalogues by their private or collaborative status.
You can also use the checkboxes above the table to show/hide private or collaborative custom catalogues.
Account Managers have the additional option to view all the custom catalogues created by the users in their CataList account.
View a catalogue
When viewing or editing a collaborative custom catalogue, hover over the icon next to the catalogue’s name to see who created the catalogue.
Add-to-catalogue
The icon in front of the catalogue name marks it as a collaborative custom catalogue. Hover over it to see who created the catalogue.
Use the new search bar in the add-to-catalogue panel to find collaborative and private custom catalogues by name or creator.
