How do I share an outline?

If you are the creator of the outline, it will be removed from every other user's account. If you are not the creator, it is only removed from your account.
How do I prevent conflicts in shared outlines?
Outliner's sync service does a great job merging changes from different users. However, conflicts are still possible. For example, if two users rename the same item before syncing, the last user to sync the outline will "win". To prevent any possible conflicts, it is a good idea to sync a shared outline before and after making changes to it.

Open the outline by tapping it on the home screen. Tap the outline info icon in the upper-right, and then select the name field.
