Sharing
Who can edit a shared note
Anyone with the link can read. Editing needs a free Mnemox account, and you see everyone who joins.
What it is for
Links get forwarded. Because editing needs a signed-in account, a forwarded link lets a stranger read your note but never quietly rewrite it, and you can see and remove everyone who edits.
How to use it
- To let people edit, open Share and set Anyone with the link can to Edit. Making a link editable is part of Pro.
- Someone who opens the link without being signed in sees the note read-only, with Sign in to edit and Create a free account.
- Once they sign in or create an account (free is enough), they come back to the same note and press Start editing. They are told that you will see their name and email.
- Their name appears in your Share dialog. Press Remove beside it to take their editing away.
Examples
A forwarded link
You send an editable agenda to three colleagues and one forwards it to a client. The client can read it, but to change anything they would have to sign in, and their name would appear in your Share dialog, where you can remove them.
Collaborators without Pro
The people you invite need only a free account. Pro is needed only by the person who makes the link editable.
Good to know
- Editing is live: changes show for everyone straight away, and when two people type at once, both keep their text.
- People editing can change the note's text and title. They can't add images, delete, move or tag notes, or see anything else in your account.
- With a folder link, joining once lets them edit every note in the folder and its subfolders.
- Someone you remove can't rejoin with the same link. They can still read it while the link is on.
- Switching the link back to View ends everyone's editing at once and keeps reading open.
