Sharing the standard way
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I spend some minutes looking for the internal sharing option. It's not in the sidebar, where it is in any other app. There is only the link sharing in the sidebar:
Describe the solution you'd like Please just add internal sharing to the sidebar, so that it's like in any other app.
Describe alternatives you've considered I can get used to the way it's shared now, but it's not good, if every app tries to be cleverer about standard features.
Thanks for your feature request, currently we do not have internal sharing as a feature in collectives, rather you manage members of the whole collective, so it is slighly different from the sharing option that each page has for links.
Sharing can of course be achieved with the underlying files, but integrating this in collectives might be more complex then just sharing a single file. You would want to also integrate the incoming shares nicely on the receiving side. In addition users might expect to include subpages in the shares as well.
Can you elaborate a bit more on your use case? Are you just thinking about moving the member management to the sidebar?
Ok. That is a different way to view collectives. To me they are something like OneNote, where I share a notebook with certain people.
But you say, that it's another organizational layer next to groups and teams - with an attached notes function.
I thought the member management was the normal sharing function but in the main part of the UI. Why is this yet another way to manage user groups? I think it is logical to have user groups that manage admin permissions and teams that manage access to resources. Why does Collectives have its' own user management?

The use case would be if i have a quite large collective where many users has access and i want to share a specific page to a user that already has access. Sharing the url with ?fileid and such might be filtered. So an internal collective link to a specific page would be a good thing.
We should add a link to the manage menbers modal from the sharing sidebar tab.
