quick answer

use public sharing when the author wants someone outside the team to read or comment.

use this for

  • publishing a read-only draft
  • collecting comments from people without accounts
  • copying a public link

steps

  1. open a saved document.
  2. click share.
  3. choose private, view only, or commentable.
  4. copy the generated public link.
  5. switch back to private to unshare.

details to know

  • private means only owner and explicit shares can open it.
  • view only means anyone with the link can read.
  • commentable means anyone with the link can read and leave comments.
  • public urls use `/{brand-slug}/{doc-slug}`.

limits and edge cases

  • public shared documents are noindex to protect user content.
  • public sharing is different from team sharing.
