Sharing your convention, assembly and meeting notes
Pass your convention, assembly or meeting notes to family and friends as a small file — without handing over your whole library or overwriting theirs. A practical use of note sharing.
You took careful notes through a convention; a friend who missed a session would love them; family members want the points for their own review. Sending your entire backup is overkill and would wipe out the receiver's own notes if restored. Note sharing lets you pass along exactly the notes you want — and lets the receiver keep everything they already have.
Step by step
Load your backup on the Share page
Go to jwsync.org/share.html and load your .jwlibrary file.
Select just the convention notes
Pick the notes to share — filter by the tag you used for the event, or by date, and select that set. Highlights attached to those notes come along.
Send the small share file
JW Sync makes a small file containing only those notes. Send it however you like — messaging app, email, AirDrop. No server, no account.
Family and friends merge it in
Each person opens the same page, loads your file with their own backup, and gets a new backup with your notes added. Their own notes are never overwritten, and your imported notes arrive tagged so they're easy to find.
A tag makes this effortless
If you tag your notes during the event (say, “2026 Convention”), selecting them afterward is one filter click. It's worth starting a fresh tag at the beginning of any convention, assembly or special meeting for exactly this reason.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I share with several people at once?
- Yes — the share file is just a file. Send it to as many people as you like; each merges it into their own library independently.
- Will my whole library be exposed?
- No. Only the notes you select are in the file; the rest of your library stays private.
