File sharing in AutoCrit is helpful for collaborative work. AutoCrit allows you to share your documents with other active Pro Members from inside your Writer's Desk.

Here are some quick links for this article:

From inside the document you would like to share click the Save icon and then click Share.

This will open the following window. Type in the email address for the account that you wish to share with and then click Add.

Once you've clicked Add, the receiver's address will appear listed here. You will also notice the option to notify your receiver of the shared file by email. We'll talk about their file access options in a moment:

Click Update to immediately share the file with your receiver.

The file will appear in the Shared Files folder in their Writer's Desk and they will receive a notification email if you've selected the option.

Receiver's Writer's Desk:

Receiver's notification email:

Once your receiver receives the file, they will be able to view it in read-only mode as a Spectator. This is evidenced by the word "viewer" in their browser's URL bar:

To grant your receiver edit access, click on the Save icon and the Share option again from inside the shared file.

Then click the drop-down menu beside their email address to change their access from Spectator (viewing only) to Editor (viewing and editing), then click Update to refresh their access.

For your receiver's access to update on their device, they will need to close and reopen the file. After doing this, they will be able to click this option to edit the document.

To remove access from your file, return to the file sharing options, by clicking the Save icon and then the Share option.

Then click the Trash Can icon and Update, to fully revoke access to your file.

At this time you can only share files with AutoCrit Pro Members, but we have a variety of options for first time users, so have your editor/collaborator reach out to us and we'll gladly assist.
