Understanding context types

Context types are the core of how CoLab works. They let you share different sides of yourself with different people.

The Three Context Types

Share your professional identity. Perfect for:

Colleagues and collaborators

Networking contacts

Mentors and mentees

Share your hobbies and interests. Perfect for:

Festival friends

Hobby groups

Casual acquaintances

Share with close connections only. Perfect for:

Close friends

People you trust deeply

When you connect with someone:

You choose which context type(s) to share

They see only the information you've added to those contexts

They can choose what to share back

This means you might share your Work context with a colleague, but only Social with someone you met at a festival.

Go to your Profile and tap on any context type to edit what information appears there.
