Syncing Sets with Other Users

FontAgent® allows you to share and sync font sets with other users who belong to your FontAgent Sync workgroup. You specify your workgroup's members using your account dashboard.


This page applies to FontAgent® Sync Edition and not to the Standard (standalone) and Connected (server-connected) Editions.


Making Sets Available to Others

To sync sets with other users in your workgroup, follow these steps:

  1. Select the set you wish to share.
  2. Click the Share Set command in the Sets or Share menu ribbon, or right-click the set and select Share.

FontAgent then uploads the selected sets and the fonts they contain to your FontAgent Sync workgroup or to your internal FontAgent Server where other users can view and download the fonts.

Using Sets Shared by Others

Once sets are shared by other users in your workgroup, the sets are uploaded to the cloud and appear automatically in the Sets Sidebar of for all FontAgent users in your workgroup. You can download, select, view and activate those sets and the fonts they contain.

Observe Software and Licensing Requirements

Please respect and comply with the license requirements of your various fonts. To remain in compliance with the terms of your licenses, please make sure you have licensed enough seats for the fonts you share with others.

Unsharing Sets in FontAgent Sync

When you unshare sets in your FontAgent Sync workgroup, the sets become unavailable to everyone in your workgroup, but the fonts in the sets remain available. To make the fonts unavailable as well, you must unshare the fonts. To stop sharing a set, follow these steps:

  1. Select the set you wish to stop sharing.
  2. Click the Unshare Set command in the Sets or Share menu ribbon,  or right-click the set and select Unshare.

To once again make an unshared set available to your workgroup, right-click the set and select the Share Set command in the Set menu ribbon. FontAgent Sync will upload the set to the cloud and re-associate the fonts with the set.
