Collaboration: How to Share Your Manuscript

Collaboration allows you to share a link to a read-only version of your manuscript. Anyone with the link to your shared manuscript can view the documents and/or folders in it.

Things to Know

• Only Pro users can share their manuscript
• If you downgrade from Pro, your sharing link will become inactive

How to Share

Open a project from the Your Projects page of the app. Click the “Settings” icon at the bottom of the left navigation rail. Select “Share Manuscript”.

Toggle on the button next to “Turn On Link Sharing”. A unique link will appear below. You can copy that link and send it to others.

Turning on sharing will allow anyone with the link to your manuscript to view every document and folder in the “Write” tab. They will not be able to view Boards, Story Elements, or any documents and links in the Research tab.

To turn off link sharing, toggle off the button next to “Turn On Link Sharing.” The link will become inactive. Anyone who had access previously to your manuscript will not be able to view it anymore.

Every time you turn on sharing, the link will refresh and you will have to share it again.

Reading View

To view the reading version of your manuscript, open your shared link in a new tab. You will be able to see your account name, project title, and the full list of manuscript documents and folders.

You can change your display name in your Account settings. Learn more.
