What I do know is that there is an option to keep maps hidden (called "hidden" btw) from the public and friends. And I'm trying to see if someone could download a hidden map through a collection in Workshop as an extra treat for the player.

I'm not sure what you're saying. It sounds like your saying there isn't an option to make a map hidden, but I may be misreading your post.

I mean that if you set it as hidden, even if you have the link to the map, you still cannot subscribe / play it.

If the map is set to 'Friends Only' you can, though, so I guess you could do what MasterLagger describes using that setting. Of course, it would only be a bonus map to people you're not friends with.

Well what if you don't want someone on your friends list to see this map? E.g. MasterLagger (FYI he is actually on my friend list on steam).

Hence why I think there should be an option to change if you can send out the link when it is set as hidden.

Yeah, I see what you mean, I was just pointing out that it's an option (albeit a compromise).

While we're on the subject, the text for the 'Hidden' option seems to suggest that you can add people as co-creators. Is that actually possible? I can't find an option for it...

It's apparently a concept that never went into fruition.

I think you're the first and only person on this site to send a friend invitation to me. Do you regret it?

So, I'm assuming someone has already tried adding a hidden map to a collection?
