A guest cannot. The new Chest is empty until someone adds a photo or a file. ## How do I create a Chest? 1. On **Chests**, tap **+**. 2. Tap **New Chest**. 3. Type a **Name**. 4. Tap **Create Chest**. The sheet says **A private place for one group's photos and videos.** When the Chest exists, OurChest shows **Chest created** and opens it. The add menu, with New Chest New Chest, with the name field ## What name should I use? Use a name the group will recognize. The placeholder is **Family, Japan trip, Mia's 30th**. The name is 1 to 80 characters. If it is empty or too long, the screen says **Use 1 to 80 characters.** You can [rename it later](./chest-settings) from **Chest settings**. ## Who can join a new Chest? The sheet says **Anyone with an invite link can join. You can change this in Chest settings.** A new Chest lets people in as soon as they use a working invite. They still need that invite. The Chest is not public. To make people wait for you first, turn on **Ask before people join** in [Chest settings](./chest-settings). ## What if I close the sheet? If you have typed a name and you close the sheet, OurChest asks **Discard this Chest?** Tap **Keep editing** to stay. Tap **Discard** to throw away the name. Nothing is created until you tap **Create Chest**. This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
