Sharing & Permissions
Learn about Sharing & Permissions in WaymakerOS.
Control who can view and edit your sheets. Share with your team for real-time collaboration or with external stakeholders as read-only.
Sharing settings
Open the sheet settings sidebar and click Sharing to manage access.
Permission levels
- Owner — full control, can delete and manage sharing
- Editor — can edit cells, add rows/columns, create charts
- Viewer — can see the sheet but cannot make changes
Setting permissions
By default, sheets inherit their project's permission settings. To customize:
- Open the sheet settings sidebar
- Click Sharing & Collaboration
- Choose the access level:
- All workspace members — everyone in the workspace can view or edit
- Specific people — select individual team members
- Owner only — restrict to the sheet creator
Sharing outside your team
To share a sheet with people outside your workspace:
- Open sharing settings
- Toggle Public link on
- Copy the link
- Public links are view-only — recipients can see the data but cannot edit
To revoke public access, toggle the link off. It stops working immediately.
Real-time collaboration
When multiple people open the same sheet, everyone sees changes in real time. Each collaborator's active cell is highlighted with their colour and name.
There's no save button — all changes are saved automatically and synced instantly to everyone viewing the sheet.
Sheet status
Sheets can be set to:
- Active — visible and editable
- Draft — work in progress
- Archived — removed from active views, still accessible through the Tools module
Change the status from the sheet settings sidebar.
