Share (1), who can open the link (2), and Copy link (3).

## Who can open and edit a file

| Who | Can view | Can edit |
| - | - | - |
| Members of the file's team | Yes | Yes, if their role allows |
| Anyone with the link | Yes | No |
| You, in **My Files** | Yes | Yes; other members can't open it |

## Share a file with a link

**1. Open Share**

Click **Share** 1 at the top right, in the Workbench or Studio.

![The Workbench with the Share this file with others panel open at the top right and its menu showing Anyone with the link and Link sharing disabled](https://mintcdn.com/vizcom-c4034e9b/l3hebjVqvRBa2E6g/images/share-workbench-image.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=l3hebjVqvRBa2E6g\&q=85\&s=f04fbffb4123494252be851d594d902b)

**2. Turn on the link**

Choose **Anyone with the link** 2.

**3. Copy the link**

Click **Copy link** 3.

People with the link can look around and download images, but can't change anything. To stop sharing, choose **Link sharing disabled**; the link stops working at once.

## Give teammates access with a team

**1. Put the file in a team**

On the home page, right-click the file, choose **Move** and pick a team.

**2. Check your teammates are on the team**

Everyone is on the workspace-wide team. For smaller teams, see [Teams](https://docs.vizcom.com/teams.md#join-a-team).

**3. Open the file together**

Teammates find it in the team or with **Search all files**.

## Work together in real time

![The top right of the Workbench in a file named Trail runner, with running shoe colorway renders on the canvas. A teammate's yellow cursor labeled Teammate points at a render, marked 1. At the top right, the avatars T (the teammate) and A (you) sit left of the zoom menu, Export and Share. The teammate's avatar is marked 2, and its tooltip shows the name Teammate and a Follow link. Your account avatar at the far right is marked 3.](https://mintcdn.com/vizcom-c4034e9b/FHfxWMtC8cMIGOnx/images/find/collaborate-follow.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=FHfxWMtC8cMIGOnx\&q=85\&s=e7ce39b39536df098376b6affaed3207)

A teammate's cursor (1), their avatar to follow (2), and your own avatar (3).

* **Follow someone:** click their avatar 2. Your view moves with theirs, into Studio too.
* **Point at something:** select it and press <kbd>⌘</kbd>/<kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>L</kbd> to copy a link to it.
* **Leave a note:** press <kbd>N</kbd> for a sticky note.

Changes save automatically. Files have no comments or chat, so use sticky notes.

## Good to know

* **Present by having reviewers follow you** through the canvas.
* **Viewer seats are free** and can't change anything by accident.
* **Turn the link off** after a client review.
