Revision #786

One pantry for the household, instead of one each. Off unless you turn it on.

## Turning it on

**You > Preferences > Family Group > Use the family pantry.**

You will see a consent screen first. It is worth reading, because it is the
moment your pantry contributions become visible to other people.

**Becomes visible to your group:** the items you add, their quantities, and your
name beside them.

**Never becomes visible:** your food diary, weight, water, vitals,
measurements, photos, targets, allergens, never-eat list, or your personal
pantry.

You will also be offered a one-time copy of your existing pantry items into the
shared one. It copies — it does not move. Your personal pantry is kept exactly
as it is either way.

## While it is on

- **My Pantry** shows the family pantry, with a banner saying so and each item
  labelled with who added it.
- The **meal planner** and **shopping list** work from the shared pantry.
- **Your own allergens, never-eat list, macros and targets still govern your
  plan.** Two people planning from the same pantry get different plans. Nobody
  else's dietary settings affect yours.
- Any participating member can add, edit or remove any item. It is a household
  cupboard, not a set of private drawers.

## Turning it off

Instant. Your personal pantry comes back exactly as you left it.

Items you already added stay in the shared pantry — they belong to the
household — and keep your name on them until you leave the group or delete your
account, after which they show as added by a former member.
