Copying items between vaults

Hi guys. Apologies if this is a regular topic. I have a private vault and a family one (which I've just created). I'd like to share some - but not all logins - in the new family vault. In other words, copying some logins from mine into the shared. Can anyone guide me as to how this is done? Thanks.

    Hi @alexe!

    Certainly, you can copy the items you wish to share to the correct vault :)

    Hi, I have a question about what actually happens once an entry is copied into another vault. The copied entry is not updated when the original is changed, is that right? So changing the password for that entry in one vault doesn't change it in the other vault? Is there a way to share entries/passwords between vaults where changes to the entry in one place WOULD be reflected in the copy?

    @jenniferbga:

    That's correct: when you copy an item, you are duplicating it, therefore creating a second item which is independent from the first one.

    Is there a way to share entries/passwords between vaults where changes to the entry in one place WOULD be reflected in the copy?

    Yes, the solution would be to not copy the item, but instead to move it, so it lives only in one place and would behave the way you would like ;)
