Introducing document sharing in docs

You can now share your documents directly with other users or with a broader audience. This feature makes collaboration simple, fast, and secure—so you can co-write, review, and provide feedback without ever leaving docs.

Whether you’re drafting a report, editing a proposal, or collaborating on content, document sharing helps you bring everyone together in one place.

Sharing options

When you click the Share button in the top-right corner of your document, you’ll see two ways to share the document:

Invite by email

  • Enter the email addresses of the people you’d like to collaborate with.
  • Choose their access level (see below).
  • Invited collaborators will receive an email with a link to open the document directly in Grammarly.

Note: If an invitee doesn’t have a Grammarly account, they’ll be prompted to create one before accessing the document.

If a user with whom you shared a document is logged in to some other account, they will be asked to log in to another account before they can access the document:

Create a shareable link

  • Generate a secure link that you can copy and send to anyone.
  • Choose whether people with the link can view, comment, or edit the document.
  • You can update permissions any time to stop sharing access.

If you have a Pro subscription, you can share access to the advanced features with your colleagues and use the benefits together. Upgrading to a team plan can help boost your team’s productivity and reduce repetitive writing tasks. Go to the Members page to add your teammates.

Access levels

When sharing, you can decide how others interact with your document. Three access levels are available:

  • Viewer: Can only read the document
  • Commenter: Can leave feedback and suggestions without editing directly
  • Editor: Can make edits in real time, just like you

These flexible permissions make it easy to control who can contribute while keeping your content secure.

How to assign a new document owner

To assign a new document owner, go to Share, click the name of the person that you’d like to appoint as a new owner, then click Make owner.

Note: When you transfer the ownership of a document, your owner status is converted to edit access, and you can’t transfer ownership back to yourself. The new document owner will have to do that.
