Sharing new recipes with group only

I just copied an old recipe from an old client onto the Foldit website. I think it used to be one of our Go Science group recipes, but I didn't find it after the new web site came up. Anyway, it seems like I had 2 options: share it with myself, or share it with public. I wanted to share it with the group. How does one share new recipes with the group? Thanks!

If you go to https://fold.it/recipes/library you should be able to see your recipes. In the Actions column, for recipes you created there should be an edit (pencil) icon. On the edit page there should be a "Shared with" drop-down which should allow you to share it with your group.

To share it with the public, you would have to go to the recipe's page (click on the recipe name on the library page). There should be a "Publish" button on the page, which will allow you to share the recipe with the public. Note that when you do so, you will no longer be able to edit the recipe. (If you want to make changes, you'll need to clone it and make a new version.)

Also note that a shared-with-group recipe can be edited by the original author, and when they do so it should update in all the group member's libraries. (The concept is that you likely trust your group members not to be malicious when editing recipes they shared with you, and sharing with group is potentially one way to debug recipes.)
