8.1. Shared Collections

Export Collection creates a versioned .hdjcollection file from the complete local Library, Ungrouped, or the currently selected local group. Name the collection before choosing its destination.

The file contains stable collection and track identifiers, sender-defined groups, structured identity, the BPM used for planning, key evidence and derived profiles, and loudness analysis. Detector confidence is included when that BPM is the detector result. A manual correction is exported as the used BPM without exposing the sender’s private correction record or stale detector confidence. The file excludes local paths, audio, personal ratings, Gems, Mix documents, and other private Library state.

Import Shared Collection adds that path-free snapshot as a named remote collection. Reimporting a newer export with the same collection and track identifiers updates the existing records instead of creating duplicates. Sender groups remain scoped beneath their collection.

Manage Shared Collections removes imported metadata without changing local tracks. Imported collections cannot currently be re-exported as if they were your own local collection.
