Use Trove's List function to collect item records, articles and web pages. With lists you can store and organise your favourite items, and even connect with people with similar lists. You must log in to your Trove account to create or edit a list.


Private, public and collaborative lists

You can define your lists as private, public or collaborative. 

Private lists are visible only to the person who created them.

Public lists are visible to everyone. They are only editable by the person who created them, but anyone can add tags and notes to them. 

Collaborative lists are visible to everyone. They are editable by the person who created them (ie the list owner) and people who have requested to join the list and have been approved by the list owner (the list administrator/s and list collaborator/s), but anyone can add tags and notes to them.
