Q: Family Sharing?

My son currently has his own ITunes account, with his own Apple ID, that he has made purchases from. If I invite him to join my ITunes account through Family Sharing, will our two separate accounts be linked into one account, giving each of us access to the other's past purchases?

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

    Christine,  It does not exactly link them into one account, but rather enables purchased content to be shared between the two accounts.
