# Share a skill with your workspace

In a shared workspace, a skill you made can be for you only or for everyone in the workspace. If the workspace has admins approve shares first, yours waits for approval.

Sharing is only within a shared workspace. In your personal workspace, your skills are always yours alone. There is no public directory. These steps are for the web app. For the phone, see [Use skills on the phone](https://support.bluedeer.ai/mobile/general/use-skills-on-the-phone.md).

## Share your skill

1. Open **Customization** → **Skills** → **Yours** in the shared workspace.
2. Select **⋯** next to your skill, then **Share…** (or open the skill and select **Share**).
3. Choose **Only me** or **Everyone in** followed by the workspace's name, then select **Save**.

When it is shared, everyone in the workspace finds it in **Discover**, under **New skills**, with the line "shared by" and your name. They can read all of it, add it and make their own copy. Only you can change it.

## Waiting for approval

The workspace's owner and admins choose whether members' shares go out at once or wait for approval. If they wait, your skill shows **Waiting for approval** until an owner or admin approves it. Until then only you can use it. If they decline it, it goes back to **Only me**.

The owner and admins share without waiting.

## Skills shared by others

A skill someone else shared is read-only for you. To change it, open it and select **Make a copy**. Your copy is private until you share it.
