To ensure you have the flexibility to establish what specific people can do to a document without affecting the document link, you can set document permissions for individuals as well as for the document link itself.

Set permissions for an individual

To set document permissions for an individual, open the document and, at the top right, select Share. To the right of a listed collaborator, select the drop-down and choose the preferred permission setting—Can edit or Can Comment.

The default setting for all individuals is Can edit, so anyone you invite can edit the document unless you change their permissions. The document creator always has full permissions, ensuring that at least one person on your team can edit and manage the document at all times.

You can set permissions for the link to documents.

Set permissions for a freehand link

To set permissions for a specific document link in a freehand, open the document and, at the top right, select Share. Choose who can open the document and what they can do in the drop-down menus in the share dialog.
