Sharing a Note.
When to use
If you want to give someone access to the contents of your Note you can easily share it.
Instructions
To share a Note:
- Click the little arrow next to the Share button in the upper right corner of the Note
- Right-click the Note on the list in the middle pane
- From the main menu go Note > Share Note
When you share a Note with an Evernote user, use the “Share Note” option that will open a new Work chat and attach your Note to the chat. You’ll need to enter the other person’s name or e-mail address. If you’ve chatted with that person before, Evernote will prompt you with matching names. You can also add a message along with your Note.
Before sharing the Note, don’t forget to review the permissions you want to grant the other person in regards to your Note. You can allow them to just view the Note, edit the Note, or edit and invite (= share further).
If you forgot to do that or if you want to change permissions after sharing a Note, you can always chose one of the following methods:
- Click the little arrow next to the Share button in the upper right corner of the Note and then select Manage Note Permissions from the drop down menu
- Right-click the Note on the list in the middle pane > More Sharing > Manage Note Permissions
- From the main menu go Note > More Sharing > Manage Note Permissions
If you share a Note in this way with someone, who doesn’t have an Evernote account, they will receive an e-mail with the link to the Note, but they won’t be able to see the Note unless they create an Evernote account.
If you are in doubt whether the other person has an Evernote account, share your Note using a Public link. You get the Public link to the Note by following either one of these routes:
- Click the little arrow next to the Share button in the upper right corner of the Note and then selecting Copy Public Link from the drop down menu
- Right-click the Note on the list in the middle pane > More Sharing > Copy Public Link
- From the main menu go Note > More Sharing > Copy Public Link
When someone clicks the Public Link, your Note gets opened in the web browser as a web page. So, anyone can see the contents of your Note. They can’t modify a note shared with a Public Link so, you don’t need to worry about the Note permissions.
