You can share the manifest file with collaborators so that they can download the same images that you have selected by sharing your cart or sharing your query. Collaborators must also have the NBIA Data Retriever to open the manifest file you share. If you want to share a manifest file that includes links to private image collections, you must first manually install the latest NBIA Data Retriever. The NBIA Data Retriever controls access to private collections. Your collaborators must have the same access to the private collections in the manifest as you do. Otherwise, your collaborators will not be able to download images from those collections. |
