Mendeley reference manager

9. Creating private groups

Groups allow you to share reference documents and PDFs with other group members. 

The process for creating private groups is similar to creating collections. To name a group, click on the box under groups in the left sidebar and enter the desired group name.

To add reference items to a group, select the desired reference items by either dragging or ticking the boxes and select Organize -> Add to Group from the bottom panel. 

To invite other members to the group, right-click on the group name and select Manage group.

In the left sidebar that opens, select Invite members and add the email address of each person you want to invite to join the group. A private group can have up to 25 members. All added group members will see a shared set of references.
