# Sharing an object

When you create an object, you are the only person that can modify it. However, you can choose to share it with other people in a Session. After you share an object, anyone else in the Session can move, clone, delete, or perform any other actions on the object that you can. If you share an object, it will also remain in a persistent Session after you leave. Otherwise, it's deleted when you leave.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If the permission to include shared IFX in snapshots is turned off in a Session, you lose the ability to include your IFX in a snapshot after you share it.
{% endhint %}

* To share an object, access the control menu for the object, and then select **SHARE**. For more information, see [Accessing the control menu](/engage/advanced-features/modifying-objects/accessing-the-control-menu.md).

After you share an object, the **SHARE** option is removed from the control menu. If the **SHARE** option isn't available, the object is already shared.

{% hint style="info" %}
After you share an object, there is no way to undo the share. The alternative is to delete the shared object and add a new one.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.engagevr.io/engage/advanced-features/modifying-objects/sharing-an-object.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
