Hi Anki Team, I would like to publish my first add-on, but I am receiving the error: **“Sorry, your account is too new for this action.”** I have been using Anki for several years. **I use Anki and sync my collection every single day.** Could you please whitelist my account so I can share my add-on with my students? Thank you very much! ---

If you use that AnkiWeb account that you’ve had active for years, you should be able to share the add-on. But if you’ve recently created a new account, you don’t be able to use that to share. ---
