Managing Lists: Members can manage their lists by:

Important Notes for Admins
Content Types: Favorites and lists can include various content types, such as recipes and meal plans.
Privacy: Lists are private by default, ensuring that members can organize their content without sharing it publicly.
Integration: Both features are integrated into the My Stuff page, providing a seamless experience for members.
Note: If a member loses access to a favorited item or a list item, it will be filtered from their view but will not be deleted. If access is regained, the item will reappear automatically.
Access Filtering
When members lose access to a favorited or listed item, the platform filters these items based on their access level. This ensures that members only see content they are entitled to view.
