Sharing a space or collection
To share a space or collection, click the Share button in the top-right corner. This will open the share modal with different sharing options along the top. You can see everyone who has access and their level of access in the share modal. You can also make changes to these settings here.By default, every member of your organization can see all content, but their permissions are inherited from the role assigned to them within your Organization settings.
Invite members

Invite someone from outside your organization
To invite someone from outside your organization, add their email address, choose their role, and hit Invite. When choosing their role, you can also toggle the Invite as an organization member option:- Enabled: Makes them a full member of your organization with access to all your team’s content when logged in
- Disabled: Invites them as a guest who only has access to individual spaces you invite them to
Guests can be given specific roles within a space — whether it’s to edit the content, or only view and comment on it.
Inviting someone either as a full member or a guest will make them a member of the organization that owns the space, which will increase your overall subscription charge. The cost depends on your organization’s plan.
Invite guests via link
If you don’t want to use email to invite someone to your content, or want to invite multiple people as guests quickly, you can create a secret link.1
