'''Show your coach one workout, and nothing else.''' A share is a single session you picked, with a note if you want to add one, and you can take it back whenever you like.
This is a different thing from the sharing switches on your coach screen. [[what-your-coach-can-see|What your coach can see]] covers those.
== A switch and a share are different shapes ==
- '''A category switch''' is a standing permission. Turn '''Workouts''' on and your coach can read your training history until you turn it off again.
- '''A share''' is one session, chosen by name. It opens nothing else, and it ends the moment you withdraw it.
Both exist because members asked for both. If you want your coach to look at Tuesday's squat session and nothing more, you do not have to open your whole training log to do it.
== Sharing a session ==
- Open the session you want them to see — a workout, or an activity session.
- Choose '''Share with my coach'''.
- Add a note if you want one. "This is the one that felt heavy." It is optional and usually short.
- Send it.
'''The first time you share with a coach, Loopa shows you what they will see''' and records that you read it and agreed. That happens once per coach, because a new coach is a new decision rather than a renewal of the last one.
'''Nothing is ever shared on your behalf.''' There is no schedule, no automatic version and no setting that sends sessions for you. Every share is one you chose, one at a time.
== Taking a share back ==
Open your shares and withdraw the one you want back. '''It leaves your coach's list in that moment''' — not at their next refresh, and not overnight.
Two things worth knowing:
- '''Withdrawing does not delete the session.''' It is your log and it stays exactly where it is, with everything in it.
- '''Your own record stays.''' You can see what you shared, when you shared it and when you took it back, including for shares you have already withdrawn. Nobody else has that list.
You can share the same session again later if you change your mind.
== What happens when you change coach ==
'''Everything you had open is withdrawn in the same act.''' Leaving a coach, or joining a different one, withdraws every live share, switches every sharing category off, and closes that coach's forum for you immediately.
What they sent you stays in your own history, where you can still read it. See [[loopa-coach|Loopa Coach]].
== The other direction: what a coach can send you ==
A coach can '''recommend''' a routine they wrote, or point at a session of yours they would like you to repeat. It arrives as a decision, never as something that has already happened.
- '''Accept''' and a copy of the routine lands in your own library. It is yours from that moment and it stays yours, including after the relationship ends.
- '''Decline''' and nothing in your account changes. Your coach is told, and turning something down is a normal answer.
A coach can send a client a small number of these a day. That limit is deliberate: somebody paid on your subscription should not be able to use your app as a mailing list.
[[working-with-a-coach-on-training|Working with a coach on your training]] goes through the training side in full.
== Where each part lives ==
'''Sharing a session is done in the Loopa app''', which is where the screen explaining what your coach will see lives.
In a browser you can do the rest: read what your coach has sent you, accept or decline it, and withdraw any share you have open. It is on your '''Your coach''' screen, the same place as the sharing switches.
== What it costs ==
'''Nothing on top of your subscription.''' There is no coaching fee, no second subscription, and no charge for sharing. Logging the training itself is part of Loopa Premium — see [[what-loopa-basic-includes|What Loopa Basic includes]].
