Might just be a problem with how XPerience handles researching but when something in a workbench is researched, it isn't being shared. You can still share BP's manually and that works fine, but I'm guessing this is a conflict with how the hooks are used when research is done. 

I will look into this conflict and see what can be done. So just to clarify all automatic sharing is not working but the manual share command is?

Yeah, manual sharing is fine. Using the research table is also fine, when learning from a BP item it's still shared. It's only the workbench tech tree that isn't automatically shared on researching an item. 

Looks like the author of XPerience has added support for Blueprint Share. If you could check and let me know if it is working fine.
