If you want to work on the same document with other GoodNotes users but hate the idea of sending copies of the document back and forth and manually merging different versions, you can simply share a GoodNotes document via a link so that others can access and edit the document with you.

<aside> ℹ️ All shared documents (that you shared or that others shared with you) will appear in the Shared section of the library view.

Requirements

Share / Unshare a document

Share a document for collaboration

A shared document is currently public and anyone with the link can edit the document in their GoodNotes app. We recommend sharing links with trusted people only.

From the document view

  1. Open the Share & Export menu.

  2. Enable Share Link to Collaborate and wait until the link is created.

  3. Optionally tap Sharing Settings and enable “Open Document on Web” to make the document viewable on the web, even by people without GoodNotes installed.

  4. Tap Send Link from the Share & Export menu and choose an app, e.g. a messaging or email app like Mail, to send the link to, or tap Copy and paste it manually in a message to someone.

<aside> 💡 You can also tap the document title at the middle-top, and choose "Link Sharing" to open the Share Link dialog:

  1. Select the document.

Unshare a document

If you are the owner of a shared document, you can unshare it to revoke access for all participants that have already accepted the share and the document will no longer be accessible via the URL. You can re-enable link sharing at any time, and the document will be accessible again via the same URL. The users who previously accepted the shared document can access it again via the shared URL but will need to re-download it.
