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 within students (my.hancockcollege.edu) OR within employee (hancockcollege.edu). It allows anyone in that organization to view the document, and students and employees are in separate organizations. Do not use this option for sharing between faculty and students.
- 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). This is an effective way to share work between students and faculty.
- 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.
