Share Lists with Family or Friends ➦

Open the list contents you want to share, tap the "Share List" button () at the bottom left of the screen.
Choose the most convenient messenger to send the Shoplyste export file.


• Import a List:

Tap on the file you received in your messenger to open it with Shoplyste.
Your Shoplyste opens the file as an Import Confirmation screen which allows you to review the sender's identity,
date and time, number of items, and target list.
How imports behave:
First-time import: a list received from a sender for the first time is saved as a brand‑new list on the recipient’s device.
Same sender, same list name: incoming lists with the same name are merged into the existing list rather than duplicated.
Sender updates win: deletions, additions, renames, and check‑offs from the sender replace the previously imported items, while any items added locally by the recipient remain untouched.
Round‑trip merge: if the recipient sends the list back, the sender’s list merges with the recipient’s items, and checked‑off entries come through as Done.
Shared session: this behaves more like a shared session than repeated list exchanges.
Work offline between syncs: both parties can edit autonomously between exports/imports until the next sync.

On the Lists screen, tap a 'carrot' icon [ ] at the top bar to jump to the Categories screen.
