Can’t seem to figure it out. I’m assuming one of the points is to be able to share different presents amongst the community?

How can I pick one or more recipes, export them, and have someone else us it?
Is there anyway to version or override existing, especially on type Tool and maybe save a description of the recipe? I see title, but being able to add a description seems natural, same with being able to specify sub-directories for tools (sub-groups).

It's far better to say nothing if one doesn't know the answer than add noise to a forum. Your reply links to a 12-minute video with no time stamp and no clarification on whether the answer actually exists within that video. Not sure if that's what entails being a better community member.

From a guy with 9 posts.

it's common to get a lot of views and no answer, that just means that a lot of people are interested in an answer and hoping to find it in the thread
and asking the question you are one of them you should not be surprised

also those are not unique views, so it can be just 1 person refreshing 500 times

but regardless, you can watch this if you are interested in recipes

I haven't watched it in full, so not sure exact answer is there, but there you will find out that recipes are stored in .hda files

which means that even if Recipe Manager doesn't provide a way to export or version up individual recipes you can do it using Assets/Asset Manager using RMB/Duplicate

to overwrite a recipe just save another one for the target pattern under the same name to the same .hda file
or RMB/delete and save a new one
or RMB edit contents and do your edits there and save to override

to create a separate version you can technically use hda versioning by appending ::1.0 ::1.1 to namespace, but it looks like Houdini will currently treat them as separate Recipes instead of showing just one of them in the dropdown
But of course it depends on what you are trying to do with versioning as you can also target different asset versions with your recipes and those will be filtered per asset version
