To allow any Bungee Connect user to import your project, you can post it to the Share. Once posted, a shared post is covered by either the Type R or Type E license, see the Bungee Labs Software Publishing Agreement for information about the licenses.

[edit] Procedures

[edit] Posting to the Share 

Use this procedure to post an item to the Share for other developers to use. 

To post a project to the share:

1. In Bungee Connect, select the Staging tab.
2. Under Depot, select the project you want to share and click Post. The project is posted to Production.
3. Under Production, select the posted application you want to share and click Share. The Share dialog box is displayed.
   1. In Name, type a name for the Share (or leave the default name, which is taken from the posted application)
   2. In Version, type a version number for the Share (or leave the default version number, which is taken from the posted application)
   3. In Description, optionally type a description for the Share.
   4. Select Mark recommended if you want to recommend that users use this version of the shared post.
   5. For License, use the drop-down arrow to select either Type R or Type E.
   6. Click OK. The shared application is shown under Shares. 

Note When you want to update a shared post to a newer version, as a matter of best practice, remove the old version to keep the Share free from obsolete posts.

[edit] Using a Shared Post in your Solution 

For information on how to incorporate a shared post into your solution, see Using Import and Include 

[edit] Managing your Shared Posts 

Use this procedure to remove items from the Share and to change the description of shared items. 

To manage your shares:

1. From the Staging tab, expand My Share.
2. Highlight the shared post you want to manage.
3. To remove the share post, click Remove. To change the description of the shared post, click Modify and type a new description.

[edit] Updating and Modifying Dependencies 

Use this procedure to update shared posts that you have incorporated into your solution. For example, if a developer has updated a shared post that you are using, you may want to update your solution to use the latest version.

Note The Check for Updates button works by checking the shared posts you are using for the Recommended tag. If you are using a shared post and a version other than the one you are using is marked Recommended, then the shared post is marked for updating.

To update dependencies:

1. In the Solution Explorer (Design tab), select your solution.
2. In the tool bar above the solution, click Modify Dependencies.
   
3. In the Modify Dependencies dialog, the shared posts you are using in your solution are shown on the right. Click Check for Updates to see if any dependencies have been updated.
4. To update dependencies, either select an individual dependency and click Update, or click Update All to update all dependencies.

[edit] Changing to a Specific Version of a Shared Post

Use this procedure to select a specific version of a shared post. You may want to select a specific version of a shared post (for example, an older version) if you update the shares you are using and discover that a developer has changed the shared post and, as a result, "broke" your application. 

1. From the Modify Dependencies dialog, select the shared post on the right. Click Change.
2. In the Change Dependency dialog, select the version of the shared post you want to change to.
3. Click OK.
