Sharing a Google Doc

Now that you've created your Google document, you can share it with your friends, family, or coworkers. You can do this directly from the document.

1. Click the box Share at the top right of your document. Then, type the email addresses of people you want to share your document with. You can add a single person or a mailing list.
2. To the right of the list of names, click Can view, Can edit, or Can comment from the drop-down menu.
3. If you'd like to add a message to your invitation, click Add message and enter some text.
4. Click Send. To skip sending an invitation, unselect the option Notify people. Your collaborators and viewers will still be able to access the document from their Documents List, but won't receive an email invitation.

In the Sharing settings dialog, you can also see who has access to your document, change the level of access people have, remove editors, commentators, and viewers, and change your document's visibility option.
