Ask two questions before sharing: who needs access, and what do they need to do? Viewing and editing are different permissions. Choose only the intended people and the access needed for the task. Ask a trusted adult before sharing personal material.

Worked example

A tutor needs to read a fictional drawing description, not change it. Selected-person view access fits that task better than an anyone-link with edit access.

MIRA: Needs to read: View access. ARI: Needs to revise: Edit access. THEO: Not part of this task: No access.
Read the labeled example and the full passage before answering.

The Fictional Group Poster

In this paper model, Mira needs to read a poster, Ari needs to revise its words, and Theo is not involved. The proposed settings are Mira: view; Ari: edit; Theo: no access. Only those listed people have access, and there are no other links or inherited permissions. The poster contains invented content, not real student names, photos or locations.

Question 1 How many listed people can open the poster?
Question 2 Who needs edit access for the stated task?
Question 3 Should Mira receive edit access just to read the poster?
Question 4 Would an anyone-link keep access limited to these two selected people?
Question 5 What should you review before confirming a share?
