โ“ Issue/Question

  • A user was trying to share this collection with external users. When he does a share, the link that gets copied to his clipboard is normal. However, when you follow that it shows - "no results found".
  • When I share a collection, the link shows โ€œno results foundโ€

ย 

๐Ÿ‘Œ Resolution/Answer

  • Update the user's Tag access
    • If you're an admin, go to Configure > Users and find the user
    • Click Edit and add one of the collection's tags to the Tag access field
    • If you're not an admin, reach out to your platform admin so they can adjust your Tag access
    • Once the tag is added, create a new shareable link for the collection
    • Links created before the change don't update
      ย 
  • Workaround
    • Open the collection and select all the media
    • Click the Link button in the side panel

ย 

๐Ÿฅš Cause

  • The collection shareable link only shows media if the collection matches the user's Tag access
