File Exchange - two authors

I would like my collaborator to be able to modify my File Exchange submission, i.e. to be able to update the code, make comments, change the screenshot, etc from their own MathWorks account. Can that be done?

I have never seen that yet. I suspect it is possible on github, so you could link the submission to github and handle updating there. Note that a change in the description text can't be pushed from github to the FEX.

Yeah, that's what I figured. However, my file is a Toolbox and I want it to be accessible from matlab's Add-on Explorer, so I believe the GitHub option is not for me.

Thanks for your answer, thou.

It might be possible, another contributor might know. You could also send this as a feature request to Mathworks. It does make sense that this would be possible.

github is the only answer, if you want it to be accessible to both of you. The FEX does not offer party submissions.

If you want it to be on the FEX, then have the colleague forward any changes to you, and then you would post them. Not very clean, I know, but then we live in an imperfect world.

Anyway, I believe this has been discussed at one of our meetings, and GitHub was the answer suggested by the FEX team.

Thanks to both of you. I think the GitHub option is a really good approach for sharing code. I have sent a Feature Request nevertheless.
