How do I invite others to collaborate on an Amazon list?

Trying to organize a dorm room list for my niece and we got a $500 budget and her roommates are all over the place. I read online that you can invite collaborators so everyone can see and edit the same list but I cant find the button anywhere on my phone. I see the share button but that just sends a view-only link which isnt what I want.

I need:

  • roommates to add items themselves
  • a way to see who added what
  • it needs to be live by tomorrow night

Is this feature like hidden behind a setting I cant see or do I need to be on a computer to set it up?...

Regarding what #2 said about "> I see the share button but that..."

  • I honestly had issues with this when I tried organizing a shared office space last year. It was such a letdown. People kept adding stuff without checking the total price and we blew our budget in an hour. To make it work for your $500 limit:
  • Hit that Invite button, then select More, and toggle View and Edit before sending the link.
  • Make sure everyone is logged into their own accounts, or youll never know who added what. It just says Member sometimes which is so annoying.
  • Keep an eye on the Price Dropped alerts since dorm stuff goes on sale constantly. The syncing is kinda slow tho. Sometimes Id add something and nobody would see it for ten minutes... its not as snappy as I expected. It should be live by tomorrow night if you get those invites out now, just tell them to be careful with the spending.

> I see the share button but that just sends a view-only link Omg I literally just did this for a housewarming and it was amazing!! Tap Invite, then More, then toggle the View and Edit switch. Its a lifesaver for tracking additions on Amazon. If the app feels buggy, tbh just hop on a desktop... it's way more reliable for permission settings!

I think you need to select the invite button and then toggle the manage access setting. IIRC the mobile UI is slightly clunky, but ive been satisfied with the data syncing.
