Sharing is where productivity software meets other people. The file is no longer just yours; it needs a stable format, a clear permission level, and enough context that the recipient knows what to do next.
How we organize this page: A clean handoff answers four questions: can they open it, can they change it, which version is final, and what happens after they respond?
→ Operating system
What share has to hold.
Productivity pages are built around the real work surface: what enters, where it lives, how it moves, and what has to be trusted later.
Format
Doc, Sheet, PDF, CSV, image, template, or signed copy.
Context
Comments, deadline, change note, and the decision needed.
Close
Remove access or archive the handoff when the work is done.

→ Frequently asked
Share, answered.
Practical answers for the choices people make before opening another app, board, document, or shared link.
Q.01Should I send a link or a PDF?+
Send a link when collaboration is still active. Send a PDF when the recipient needs a stable version that should not change under them.
Q.02What is the safest default permission?+
Viewer. Move to commenter or editor only when the recipient needs to participate in the file itself.
Q.03How do I avoid sharing the wrong version?+
Use a clear file name, check version history, export from the final source, and open the shared link in a private window before sending.
Q.04When should access be removed?+
Remove access after a project closes, a contractor leaves, a client handoff is complete, or a public link was only needed temporarily.
