Make collecting articles in a Magazine collaborative by inviting others to contribute. You can create a new Group Magazine from the start or invite contributors to an existing Magazine. 

We call them Group Magazines because multiple people can contribute stories, photos, videos, and other content to them. For example, friends can share trip ideas with each other, families can collect recipes to try together, classrooms can save articles for a project, and teams can use them to share information about their industry.

Public or Private?

Group Magazines can be public or private. Anyone can follow a public Group Magazine, but only the contributors can see what’s in it in a private Group Magazine. Regardless of whether the Magazine is public or private, only the people you invite to be contributors can share stories into it.

Note: Setting your profile to private will hide any Group Magazines you own. Even from other contributors. You must have a public profile to be the owner of Group Magazines.
