How to Share a Document
Find the document that you would like to share, select it, and press the sharing icon:
There are two sets of sharing options that determine who can view the file and whether or not they can edit it:
- Anyone - this is the easiest way to share the document with anyone. It will generate a link that you can email to that person. They will not need to sign in. For added security, you can set an expiration date or put a password on the document. This is a good way to share documents between students and faculty.
- People in Allan Hancock College - this option only works for sharing with anyone with a @hancockcollege.edu or my.hancockcollege.edu email address
- People with existing access - You can use this option if you just need to generate a link to someone who you have already shared the document with. This is rarely used.
- People you choose - This allows you to share the document with anyone who has a Microsoft email account (including both AHC students and employees).
- Can view: The person can open and look at the file, but they can’t make any changes.
- Can edit: The person can open, change, and save the file.
- Can't download: The person can view the file in their web browser, but they can't save a copy to their own computer.
Once you have selected a sharing option and chosen recipients, click "Send." You may use the "Copy Link" button to generate a link that you can copy and send to another person.
