The steps to invite a family member with an existing Apple ID are in the ink provided by Limnos Scroll down to the section titled “Invite people to join your family” as also mentioned by Limnos. Or you can click this link to go there directly: link-> Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support
Thank you for your reply, however this doesn't actually answer the question.
My children already have appleid's - the standard process creates new ones for them
How do i add the children to the family account with their existing appleid's?
I read it but it points to the standard instructions where you have to create an id for your child.
if you have instructions as to how you invite someone with an existing ID please send them to me
thank you
You are welcome. When you go the 'Invite people to join your family' section, ignore the link to create an Apple ID for a child and add them to your group link. Just after that, it tells you what to do if they have an existing Apple ID.
Did you read the Set up Family Sharing link Limnos posted? If you invite the existing Apple ID, you don't have to create a new ID.
