looks like there’s no way to allow edits for everyone with the link, they can only view the document that way. guess it’s Google Docs for me for the foreseeable future :(

also, it doesn’t seem to support previewing .odt, while .docx works fine.

Are you sure others cannot edit? From the linked blog post:

“Share and invite anyone — Invite other users to view or edit your documents with a single click.”

“Collaborate in real-time — Changes are reflected immediately, ensuring every contributor always sees the most up-to-date version.”

yes, like your quote says, you have to invite other users. you have to explicitly add every user’s email in order to let them edit it, you can’t just create a link and send it to people.

Oh, I see, thanks for clarifying. I have never had a use case where I want that.

Damn that seems like a core feature. Not sure I’ll use it without this.
