# Share a Document with People Outside Your Organization

Use a link to share documents with someone who doesn’t have a Quip account.

### Required Editions

What an external user sees when they open the document depends on the level of access for link sharing.

- If the access level is view, edit, and comment: External users see the document and the conversation. If an external user tries to edit or add a message to the document, they’re prompted to sign in.
- If the access level is view only: External users only see the document, not the conversation.

Important If your company uses Quip Enterprise Tier, your Quip admin has the option to disable external sharing, or to restrict external sharing to an allowlist of permitted collaborators. If your Quip admin turns on this setting, you can’t share documents with anyone not on the allowlist. You also can’t add any documents to a folder created by someone at another company.

1. Open the document.
2. Click **Share**.
3. Turn on **Shareable Link**.
4. Click **Link Settings**.
5. Select an access level.
6. Select **Allow access outside of \[organization name\]**.
7. Select **Done**.
    
    A banner indicating that the document is available to external users appears next to the document title.
