Giving an object

There are several ways you can transfer objects from your inventory to another Resident. Keep in mind that although the Resident does not need to be on your MY FRIENDS list, the object does need to have transfer permissions.

Sharing with a friend

To share an item with a someone on your Friends list:

1. Click the Inventory button on the toolbar to open the INVENTORY window.
2. Select the item you wish to share.
3. Click Share at the bottom of the INVENTORY window. The CHOOSE RESIDENT window opens.
4. Choose a recipient from your Friends list. To choose more than one, hold down Ctrl while clicking additional names with your mouse.
5. A window opens, asking you to confirm that you wish to share the item with the Resident indicated. Click Ok to complete the transfer.
6. If the Resident is online, the item is delivered immediately. If not, it is saved to the recipient's inventory.

Sharing with any Resident

If the intended recipient is not on your Friends list:

1. Open My Inventory and click on the item you wish to share.

Receiving an object

To prevent possible inventory losses, Second Life automatically accepts all inventory offers.  Whenever you receive an inventory item, Second Life presents you with a dialog containing the following options:

• Show - Opens your inventory and highlights the received item.
• Discard - Sends the newly accepted inventory item directly to your Trash folder.
• Block - Blocks the Resident who sent you the object.
