There are a couple ways to allow a friend to edit your objects in Second Life. This is often referred to as collaborative building or collaborative creation. It's a useful way to let groups of people collaborate on a building project together. Which method you choose depends on whether they're in a group, whether you are their friend, etc.
 
 
==The Group Method==
 
 
# Right-click the object and choose '''Edit''' to bring up the object editor.
# Click on the '''General''' tab in the editor. (''If you cannot see the tabs, click on'' '''More'''.)
# Click on the '''Set...''' button to the right of '''Group''', and assign the object to the group your friend is in.
# Click on the box next to '''Share with Group'''.
 
 
 
 
{{KBnote|1= If you want other group members to be able to take copies of your object, you should make sure to set the next owner permissions (Copy, Modify, Resell/Give away) appropriately.
}}
 
 
 
 
{{KBnote|1= Any other group members will also be able to edit the object. Group members can only edit objects that are shared with the group.
}}
 
 
Object-related group permissions (and friend permissions) are explained in this video tutorial:

==The Friend Method==
 
 
# Open your Friends list by clicking the '''Communicate''' button at the bottom of your screen or pressing '''Ctrl+Shift+F'''.
# Select your friend's name in the list by left-clicking''' '''. Make sure the correct friend's name is highlighted!
# Check the '''Friend can edit your objects''' box next to their name.
# To undo, select your friend's name again and uncheck the box.

==A few things to note==
 
 
There are a few things you should be aware of:
 
 
* Your collaborative partners can only edit objects you've rezzed. Nobody but you will ever have access to your inventory, so if you want them to edit an object that you own, you need to rez it inworld first.
* Your collaborative partners can't edit the next-owner permissions on an object they've been granted access to.
* It isn't technically possible to link two prims together if they have different owners, even if they've given each other edit permissions.
* Your collaborative partners cannot edit your objects if they have '''Select Only My Objects''' enabled in their Tools menu.
