Is there an ability to make Library collections public?

My apologies if this has been answered before, I couldn't find the info in a search of existing forums.

Is there a way to make your library accessible to other players, or to grant access to specific people? It seems like this option should exist but I haven't been able to find any relevant settings for doing that.

If it's not possible currently, are there any plans to allow this in the future?

I guess you can make a library of games and can insert the link to it on your profile.

@Avii0034 You are right of course, you can share games manually.

it may just be me, but sharing individual links to games on a profile seems to defeat the whole purpose of having a sorted out library collection with various categories, etc.

@plux sorry if my comment wasnt clear. I was talking about attaching the link to library on your profile.  Not individual games.

Sorry, I misunderstood. Thank you for not getting annoyed/angry with my response.

I didn't think sharing such a link would work? I saw a similar link recently and got an error message about not having access. .... hmmm...

Are you able to open this link: https://www.chess.com/library/collections/bongcloud-esque-qiQdaG8W 

??

Sorry for confirming this way, I don't have a dummy 2nd account to test with happy.png (because that would of course be against the rules)

You can make the access to a collection within your library public.

Ahhhhh that's the setting!!! Thank you @manekapa ... I really did hunt for that but couldn't find it. Much appreciated -- thank you!!

@plux You didn't make your collection public.

@justbefair sorry I initially responded assuming you said I *couldn't* make my collection public, then I read what you wrote again happy.png you're right, I didn't change the setting yet, I want to have time to set the collection up the right way, I haven't gone through the games yet, etc.

Another user had a question about the Library.
