<h2>Overview</h2> <p>WhiskeyMate includes a <strong>Saved Recipes</strong> area where you can browse built-in default recipes, save your own recipes, and share recipes using a universal link.</p> <h2>Recipe sources: My Recipes vs Default Recipes</h2> <ul> <li><strong>My Recipes</strong>: your personal recipes saved to your account (stored in Firestore under <code>recipes</code>).</li> <li><strong>Default Recipes</strong>: built-in templates that ship with the app (local list). You can browse them and <strong>copy</strong> one into My Recipes to customize it.</li> </ul> <h2>Copy a recipe</h2> <p>Use <strong>Copy</strong> to create a personal version in <strong>My Recipes</strong>. Copying is the recommended way to customize a built-in default recipe.</p> <h2>Edit and save</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Edit</strong> is available for recipes in <strong>My Recipes</strong> (including recipes you copied).</li> <li>Edit screens let you change the title, ingredients, instructions, and optional tips, then <strong>Save</strong>.</li> </ul> <h2>Delete a recipe</h2> <p>You can delete recipes from <strong>My Recipes</strong>. Default recipes are built-in templates and aren’t deleted; you can delete your copied version instead.</p> <h2>Share a recipe (universal link)</h2> <p>Use <strong>Share</strong> to share a recipe link using your device’s share sheet. On both iOS and Android, recipe links resolve by looking up the recipe in the <code>recipes</code> collection.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Best practice</strong>: Share recipes from <strong>My Recipes</strong> (or copy a default recipe first, then share your copy).</li> <li><strong>If the recipient has WhiskeyMate</strong>: the link can open in-app and show the shared recipe.</li> <li><strong>If the recipe was deleted</strong>: the link may open but the recipe won’t load.</li> </ul> <h2>Troubleshooting</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Link opens but recipe won’t load</strong>: The recipe may have been deleted, you may be offline, or you may need to sign in.</li> <li><strong>No “My Recipes” showing</strong>: Make sure you’re signed in; personal recipes are tied to your account.</li> </ul>
