Add person with ID number as spouse to my sister
My brother-in-law has his own familysearch account and his id number. I want to add him as my sister's spouse on my account. It is not accepting him. I may have made an error by deleting him on my account, and then trying to add him with his ID.
Now neither id number for him will add as my sister's spouse and I don't want to create a new person.
Does anyone have any ideas for solutions?

The collaborative tree only applies to profiles of deceased people. You cannot share your BIL's profile for himself; for privacy, only he can see that, just as only you can see your own profile that's on your FS account.
You'll just need to re-create his profile, but this should not be an onerous task: since only you can see the profiles you enter for living people, only you need to be able to identify them, and since only you will ever be able to see them, there's no point to entering any details. And besides, the easiest and best way to protect private data online is to not put it online in the first place. Keep track of your living family offline.

You do not need to create a new profile since you have the ID you deleted from your account. Use FIND searching by that ID. You cannot search for a deleted person by name in Family Tree but ID does work. Then use the restore link in the header to bring back that profit.
Restoring should put that ID back as your sister’s spouse but if not you can then add him manually.

When I wrote "re-create", I was actually thinking of going into your profile's change log, finding the deletion, and restoring the profile from there. I should perhaps have been ...less terse about it. But regardless of how you re-create it, as I said, you shouldn't need to spend a lot of time or energy on it. It's just a connector.
