Why: Understanding these key rules helps you manage your app effectively, ensuring your members have a smooth experience and access to the right content.
Navigate: This is a reference article covering how the platform behaves behind the scenes.
Content and Access
Content without access level restrictions is public and viewable by anyone.
Content can require any of multiple access levels, meaning it uses OR logic. If a member has any access level that allows viewing, they can see the content.
As an admin, you always have access to everything, regardless of access level settings.
Content must be published to be accessible to members. If it's not published, it won't be visible.
Content grants allow you to give specific members access to content, overriding any other access restrictions.
Subscriptions
Members can only have one active subscription per subscription group. If they try to purchase another, they will be redirected to manage their existing subscription.
Once an offer is synced with payments, the price and billing interval are locked and cannot be changed.
Meal Plans and Shopping Lists
Recipes marked as leftovers in a meal plan are excluded from shopping lists.
Ingredients in shopping lists are combined if they share the same ingredient and aisle.
Component ingredients from recipes are included automatically unless the parent recipe is marked as leftovers.
Nutrition
Nutrition values are calculated automatically from ingredients by default.
You can override nutrition values at the recipe level if needed.
Nutrition from component recipes is included in calculations, but only one level deep. Nested components are not included.
Members
Member-created recipes and meal plans are private and only visible to the member who created them.
Members cannot edit nutrition values directly; they see calculated values as read-only.
Member-created content does not trigger notifications when published, keeping their activity private.
