Share a Desk

Send a Desk to someone as a link. When they open it in Tern, they get the same pages in the same layout, signed in as themselves.

Send a Desk

1. Open the Desk.Open the Desk you want to send, from the sidebar or with ⌥ and its number.
2. Choose Share Desk.Click Share Desk in the toolbar. It's there whenever the open Desk holds at least two web pages.
3. Pick how to send it.Choose Messages, Mail or another way from the share menu, and who to send it to.

The message carries the Desk's link and lists its pages, so someone without Tern can still open each one.

What travels

• The Desk's name, its layout and where its dividers sit.
• Its web pages, as addresses, up to four.

Nothing else of yours goes with it: no sign-ins, no history, no scroll positions. If the Desk has the agent in a pane, the agent stays behind; the person you send it to has their own.

Open a Desk you were sent

1. Open the link.Click the Desk link on a Mac with Tern. Tern comes forward and shows a card: A Desk was shared with you, with its name and pages.
2. Choose a Space.The Desk joins the Space that's open. If you want it somewhere else, switch to that Space first.
3. Join the Desk.Choose Join Desk. Tern adds the Desk to the Space and opens it. Choose Not Now to leave it.

Its pages open signed in as you, in that Space. If you aren't signed in to a site there yet, you sign in the first time. The Desk is then yours like any other: it gets the next ⌥ number, keeps itself up to date and has its own history. See Switch Desks.

Share more than a Desk

To keep a set of links in step with someone over time, share a whole Space instead. Its pinned links and folders stay the same for everyone in it, and you choose who can view and who can edit. See Share a Space.
