Share a page when someone else needs to read or edit the information in it. You choose the access for each page from its **Share** dialog.

Use **View** when someone only needs to read. Use **Edit** when they need to change the page. Use **Admin** when they also need to manage access and sharing settings.

## Open Sharing

Open the page you want to share and select **Share** in the page actions.

## Choose Access

- **Restricted**: only people who already have access can open the page.
- **Anyone Can View**: people with the public page link can read it.
- **Anyone Can Edit**: people with the public page link can edit it.

Choose the smallest amount of access that lets someone do their job.

## Share With A Specific Person

Enter their email address and choose **View**, **Edit**, or **Admin** access. Use **View** when someone only needs to read the page. Use **Edit** when they need to change the page with you. Use **Admin** when they need to manage access and sharing settings.

## Real-Time Coediting

When collaborators have **Edit** or **Admin** access and are connected, they can edit the same page in real time. Markdawn shows the live collaboration status and collaborator presence while the page is open.

If the collaboration connection is lost, the editor switches to read-only until it reconnects. This prevents edits from being made against a stale document.

## Check The Link Before You Send It

Before sending a public link, check the selected access and make sure the page does not contain information you did not intend to share.

If you later change the page to **Restricted**, people who only had public-link access will no longer be able to open it.

## Share Folders Carefully

A folder can affect access to the pages inside it. Check the access shown in the sharing dialog when you share a folder or a page inside a shared folder.

For a page that should be available to a terminal-based AI tool, start with a read-only API token instead of making the page public. See [Use Markdawn With AI Assistants](/agents/use-markdawn-with-ai-assistants/).
