Sharing a single document
Updated Aug 31, 2026
A share link gives one person access to one document without an account.
Expiry is mandatory
Every share link expires. This is different from a published wiki, which is a permanent presence: a share link is a grant to an individual, and a grant nobody remembers giving is a leak with a long fuse.
Revoking
A share link can be revoked at any moment, and stops working immediately.
