Hi all,
Changeset 3253 stabilizes Galaxy's item sharing; items that can be
shared
are histories, workflows, and pages. There are now three types of
sharing
for items:
(1) sharing via email with other users (unchanged);
(2) making an item accessible via link (similar to 'enable import via
link'); and
(3) publishing an item.
Sharing via email is unchanged; you can share item with individual
users by
specifying their email addresses.
Making an item accessible via link generates a human-readable link
that can
be shared with other people; via this link, users can view or import
an
item. Publishing an item makes the item accessible via link and lists
the
item's link in Galaxy's public repository so that anyone via browse or
search for it.
Hence, in reference to a previous discussion about item sharing, it is
now
possible to generate a link for accessing an item but not publish the
item's
link.
This changeset is available now in our development repository and will
make
its way to our dist repository and our main server in the next week.
Comments, questions, and suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
J.
