- In the editor, press Share.
- Enter their email and choose a role: Guide / committee (can comment and suggest), Reader (can read), or, where offered, Co-author (can edit with you, live).
- Press Send. They sign in with that address.
People you share with see what you have written — never your sources, your AI or your usage. Change a role or Remove someone under Who has access; their comments are kept.
A read-only link
Turn on a read-only link lets anyone with the link read the text: no comments, no sources, no email, and never editing. The link is shown once; copy it then. Turn off stops it at once, and Make a new link replaces it.
Comments
Your guide selects a passage and writes a comment. You see it in the Review tab on that passage, and on the Review page for the whole thesis. You can comment on your own text too: select it and press Comment.
Feedback that came by email? Paste it and Split into comments. A Word file your guide marked up? Upload it and every comment comes across with its sentence.
Answer each comment
- I revised it myself, or Not changing it with your reason.
- Suggest a revision drafts a change for you to read first; Accept applies it, and the earlier text stays in version history. It uses one section command.
- Mark round complete emails your guide a summary and checks what changed.
Export the response table gives a Word table of every comment, where it was and what you did — the response to committee most departments ask for.
Make a copy
Make a copy creates a separate thesis of your own with the chapters, outline and library, named after the original with “(copy)” at the end. Nobody you shared with comes with it, and it uses none of your allowance.
Archive a thesis
Archive, in a thesis’s More menu on your list, takes it off the list and deletes nothing: its chapters, library, versions and shares stay as they were, and anyone you shared it with can still open it. Archived theses at the foot of the list shows them; Restore puts one back where it was.
