lej815 Is there any way to allow another user to view my ideabook? For instance if I have a friend who I want to show an ideabook of pictures gathered that I think would help her, can I allow that?

Emily Hurley Hi there,

If you go to your ideabook and click "Collaborate" you can add people using their email address.

Hope that helps!

Dawn McCoy Emily with using the colloaborate does this allow the other added email address to "dump" photos into your ideabook also or just view what you have tagged?

Emily Hurley That depends. You can either give them permission to View or to View and Edit. If you give them permission to View and Edit, they will be able to add or remove photos and comments.

jdkrebs Where is the profile page? I click on my houzz and see the edit page in upper right... But cannot find any profile page... And can we delete a discussion we started or edit comments we post? How do we do that?

Dawn McCoy I know that I have not been able to all the things when I use the mobile app but when on home computer ther Menu Bar at top has Your Houzz in this drop down there is an Edit Profile on the bottom left corner. This pulls up the profile page. Also I can see in my discussion here that I can edit and or delete my comments made.

Emily Hurley Hi there, The profile editing functions are in the web interface that you can access via computer or from the browser on your device.

More recent posts can be deleted by your account, but older content can not be removed as it is too disruptive to the remaining content when others have already participated.

Shoot an email to support(at)houzz.com with any other questions!

Amanda Webster Design Is there a way to make some ideabooks public while hiding others? We'd like to hide ideabooks we make for specific clients where we go back and forth commenting, but others we would like to keep public for social media marketing. Please let me know! Thanks :)

Emily Hurley There sure is! For each ideabook you can determine the privacy by going to the ideabook, clicking Collaborate, then selecting either public or private and saving the setting.

That will allow you to have your ideabooks visible on your profile, but only the public ones will display.
