    Share & collaborate on a file with many people

    At any time, a Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides file can only be edited on up to 100 open tabs or devices. If there are more than 100 instances of the file open, only the owner and some users with editing permissions can edit the file.

    To share and collaborate on a file with a very wide audience:

    Publish the file

    • If you need many people to view a file at once, publish it and create a link to share to viewers. You can give edit access to people who need to edit or comment on the file. Learn how to publish a file. 
    • Depending on your account’s settings, publishing a file makes it visible to everyone on the web, everyone in your organization, or a group of people in your organization. Be careful when publishing private or sensitive info. 
      • Important: If you have an account through work or school, your administrator can limit who can view a published file. If you're an administrator, learn how to control who can publish documents to the web.
    • To remove a file from the web, you must stop publishing it. Learn how to stop publishing a file.
    • To stop sharing a file with collaborators, learn how to change sharing permissions.

    Create a Google Site 

    • Create a Google Site to share information with many people.  You can embed documents, spreadsheets, and presentations on the site, which can be viewed by a large amount of users. Learn how to embed documents on a site.
    • If you anticipate high traffic to your site, first publish your document in Google Docs, Sheets or Slides, then embed the published URL into Google Sites. Learn how to publish a file.

    Collect feedback with Google Forms

    • If you need to gather a lot of information, create a Google Form. Responses will be recorded in a Google Sheet. Give edit access only to people who need to work with the responses. To let more than 100 people view the responses, publish the spreadsheet to the web and create a link to share with viewers. Learn how to publish a file. 

    Fix problems with documents shared with many people

    If your document is shared with many people and it’s crashing or not updating quickly, try these troubleshooting tips: 

    • Instead of allowing people to comment on a document or spreadsheet, create a Google Form to collect feedback. Learn how to create a Google Form.
    • If you’re making a copy of a document, don’t include resolved comments and suggestions. Learn how to make a copy. 
    • Delete older information or move data into a new document. 
    • Ask viewers to close the document when they aren’t using it. 
    • Include only the most important information in a published document. Shorter documents load faster.
    • Reduce the amount of people with edit access to a document. 
    • If collecting information from multiple documents, create a new, view-only document to share with a large number of people. 

    Limit how a file is shared

    Choose if people can view, comment, or edit

    When you share a file with someone, you can choose their access level:

    • Viewer: People can view, but can’t change or share the file with others.
    • Commenter: People can make comments and suggestions, but can’t change or share the file with others.
    • Editor: People can make changes, accept or reject suggestions, and share the file with others.

    Change the general access for your file

    You can allow broad access to your file. These options depend on if your Google Account is through work, school, or Gmail.

    • Public: Anyone can search on Google and get access to your file, without signing in to their Google Account.
    • Anyone with the link: Anyone who has the link can use your file, without signing in to their Google Account. 
    • Restricted: Only people with access can open the file.

    • Make Google Docs, Sheets, Slides & Forms public
    • Stop or change how a file is shared
    • Transfer file ownership
    • Share folders in Google Drive
    • Find files shared with you
