UPCOMING WEBINAR: The complete guide to analyzing NPS To allow other people to edit your documents, or to allow specific people to view your documents (without the ability to edit them), you need to switch to a multi-user account. After you add a person to your account and they accept their invite, they will be able to see your account's documents list and edit or view documents, based on permissions you assign. This article describes how to go from a single-user account to a multi-user account.
