Sharing

Each NowComment document has a Sharing Page:


sharing page

where you can:

  • see the Groups and Contacts (individuals) that document is currently shared with (including "pending" people who haven't yet set up a NowComment account)
  • add more people
  • turn off a Group's or Contact's access to the document

There are two easy ways to get to a document's Sharing Page:

  1. if you're reading the document, click on the bottom toolbar's "Share" button
  2. from My Library, mouse over the "Options" link so a clickable "Share" icon (and other options) drops down.

The easiest way to share your Contacts is to put them into a Group; you add them to the Group one time and it's fast from then on.

If you aren't sharing with a Group:

  1. For people you have not shared a document with, and who have not shared one with you (i.e. people not in your account's Address Book), copy-and-paste oen email address at a time into the "Share with" field and click the "Add Person or Group" button each time. hit enter (or click their address). If they don't yet have an account on our system their name will be linked to that email address as soon as they register.

    2. If you make a mistake, you can remove someone from the share list by clicking the red "X" next to their name.

  2. If the people are in your Address Book you can also add them to the share list via the "browse Address Book" link.

  3. If they're in your Address Book you can also start typing their name (or email address) into the share with field and choose the right person from the matches that pop up. Use this "matching" method to share documents with a Group.

    4. matching Address Book entries

Once you've compiled your share list we recommend that you add a short context message to the email we'll send them explaining why this document is significant, why you'd appreciate their comments and feedback, etc..

That's all there is to it; click "Share now" to give everyone on the list access to the document!
