• Step 3: Picking a Share Method

  

  The person can share the highlighted notebook or note by highlighting the share dropdown button on the upper right corner of the window. It is important to know which method the user is going to share the notebook or note through as one of the options will limit the accessibility of the file. The Share button will allow the person to share it with other collaborators or friends, while the Copy Link button will generate a link that can be shared with whoever receives the link.

This can be opened by clicking the “Anyone with the link can edit” button on the upper portion of the box. By clicking the button, the user can then pick the various accessibility options available to them. The first setting will allow specific people or people who have the link to view the notebook and note. Other options range from allowing people to edit the notebook or note, setting an expiration date for the link or access, and even setting a password.

  After setting the accessibility options, the user has to type down the name, group, or email of the person/s they will share the note with. First, the user must click the “To: Name, group or email” field, then they will input the associate name, group, or email to be sent.
