Sharing my daughters account

Hello and thanks in advance for your help.
I am using 1P for YEARS (I think even before the computer was invented)... :) and am pretty sure my current license is from Agile Bits and not the Apple store.
My wife and me share 1P in our MBPs. Same passwords, same data, synched with Dropbox. Works like a charm.

My daughter uses 1P in her MBP with her own password.
All laptop using 1P 5.
Is there a way to sync only my daughter's 1P to my laptop so that we can both delete/add/edit it and the changes will be reflected on both?
Plz tell me if any additional info needed.
Thanks.
AN

    Hi @Ayara Nidajat ,

    Thanks for writing such a detailed outline of your situation! It sounds to me like you're looking to add your daughter's database as a secondary vault on your computer. This is simple to do, and we have instructions in our User Guide: share a vault.

    Please let me know if you have any questions after reading through the article. :)

    Hello Megan and Drew.
    Thanks for your help. (Sorry it took some days but... that's what happens when life gets in the middle)... :)
    I understood that I need to create a 2nd vault in my 1P acct.+ a 2nd one in my daughter's. (And I emphasize "I understood") :)
    I did something a bit simpler:
    Created a 2nd vault in my account ("Daughter's" vault), then I shared my daughter's 1P Dropbox folder (where her main 1Password.agilekeychain lives in her laptop) with my computer's DB acct. (called the new shared folder "Daughter's 1P"), in my new vault's ("Daughter's" vault) preferences I told it to sync with the new shared folder ("Daughter's 1P") and everything works just fine.
    Whenever my daughters changes info in her 1P on her computer I see in my secondary vault and if I make a change, it reflects instantly there.
    Thanks for building such a genius software!!! :)
