Collaborations and private instructables?
How do collaborations work with the new editor?
Are we still able to publish instructables as "private"?

Specifically, I am working on an instructable with this account*, and would like to collaborate with my usual account to save a lot of logging in and out. I have added "Kiteman" as a collaborator, but how do I get that information from LightWorks to Kiteman?
Also, the Instructable concerned is a bit spammy**, so I want to avoid upsetting folk and publish it privately to share elsewhere. Is that still an option?
(*Just to be clear, this is Kiteman, using my corporate identity)
(**But if folk ask nicely, I'd be happy to post it publicly.)

Hey Mr. K,
Is there a way to find out what the private features are? I am interested in doing the same thing. Is there a limit at how many people can view. Do you share the link? I know nothing about this. Any information would be appreciated, thanks~

You make a project "private" when you are in edit mode - click the
bullet-point menu button at the top-left of the Edit page and you will
get an option for "Private".
This gives you a URL that you can
share with as many people as you like, it just won't show up on your
orange board or in a search of the site (I don't know about a Google
search).
The same drop-down has the Collaborate options for letting other people edit the same project.

Both 'collaboration' and 'private' can be found in the left-hand dropdown when editing your Instructable.

Well, LW sent KM the URL of the instructable in Edit, and it still seems to work.
I haven't tried the Private bit yet.

Nah, there's plenty of changes with the new editor just being the editor :)
