How do I share an outline?
Open the outline in Outliner Online, and select the "Share" link to see the sharing settings. You can also get there from the Sharing Settings button in Outliner's outline info screen. From there, you can send invitations to share the outline. Once an invitation is accepted, the invitee will be able to view and edit the outline.

How do I prevent conflicts in shared outlines?
Outliner's sync service does a great job merging changes from different users. However, conflicts are still possible.

To prevent any possible conflicts, it is a good idea to sync a shared outline before and after making changes to it.
