Peanuts supports multiple ways to share helpers with others, from full collaboration to sharing just the structure.

Share Types

Delegation

Someone logs entries on your behalf. You maintain ownership and see everything.

Collaboration

Work together with shared visibility. Both parties can view and contribute.

Template

Share the helper structure only. Recipients get their own copy with no shared data.

Admin Assigned

Admins gift helpers to users. Structure is copied, entries are not.

​
Delegation

Delegation is designed for caregiving scenarios where someone helps you track things. Examples:
  • A caregiver logging meals for a family member
  • A personal assistant tracking expenses
  • A nurse recording vitals for a patient
1

Open Share Dialog

Click the share icon on the helper you want to delegate.
2

Select Delegation

Choose “Delegation” as the share type.
3

Invite by Email

Enter the email address of your delegate.
4

Set Permissions

Choose whether they can add only, or also edit and delete entries.
Entries added by delegates are marked with “on behalf of” attribution, so you always know who logged what.

​
Collaboration

Collaboration creates shared access where both parties work together. Examples:
  • Couples tracking shared expenses
  • Roommates managing a chore schedule
  • Small teams logging project tasks

​
Template Sharing

Share your helper structure without any data. Recipients get their own independent copy. Examples:
  • Sharing a workout tracker template with a friend
  • Distributing a budget helper to family members
  • Publishing a recipe collection format
Template shares create a complete copy. Changes to the original do not affect copies, and vice versa.

​
Admin Assigned Helpers

Admins can gift helpers to users through VIP campaigns or direct assignment. How It Works:
  1. Admin creates or selects a helper to share
  2. Admin assigns it to a user (by email or user ID)
  3. User receives a copy of the helper structure
  4. No entries are copied—user starts fresh
Use Cases:
  • Onboarding new users with starter helpers
  • VIP campaigns with curated helper sets
  • Company-wide template distribution
Admin assigned helpers appear in the user’s helper list just like their own helpers. The user has full ownership of their copy.

​
Best Practices

When someone is helping you track things (not tracking for themselves), use delegation. This keeps ownership clear and provides proper attribution.
When multiple people are working toward the same goal (shared budget, team tasks), use collaboration so everyone has equal stake.
When you want to share how you track something (not the data itself), use template sharing.
Periodically review who has access to your helpers. Revoke access for people who no longer need it.
