How to stop sharing or leave a shopping list

Both actions start with the Stop sharing option in the list menu. What happens depends on whether you created the list or it was shared with you.

Stop sharing your list

When you stop sharing a list you created, everyone else loses access to it. You keep the list, and the existing link to it stops working.
