Sheets

Sharing & Permissions

Learn about Sharing & Permissions in WaymakerOS.

SharingPermissions

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:

  1. Open the sheet settings sidebar
  2. Click Sharing & Collaboration
  3. 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:

  1. Open sharing settings
  2. Toggle Public link on
  3. Copy the link
  4. 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.
