Share a document
Invite someone to a draft or make a document available through a viewing link.
Step 3 of 4
Choose their access
Choose Can view for reading access or Can edit for collaboration.
Invite a person
- Open Share on your document.
- Enter the person's email address.
- Choose Can view or Can edit, then choose Invite.
- Review the people and pending invitations shown in the sharing dialog.
You need permission to manage the document's sharing. The recipient follows the invitation and signs in with the intended account.
Choose general access
| Setting | Who can open the document |
|---|---|
| Restricted | Invited people and workspace members with access. |
| Anyone with the link | Anyone who has the link can view without signing in. |
Copy the viewing link only when you intend to share the document with anyone who receives it. Public link access allows viewing, not editing.
Change or remove access
Use Share to review roles and invitations or change general access. Workspace membership can also grant access, so review workspace members when changing who can open shared work.
