Question

How do I change the visibility setting of a Google Doc?

Answer

You can control how many people have access to your doc by changing the visibility setting of the doc. For example, changing the setting from Anyone with the link to Private will restrict access to those people who have explicit edit or view access to the doc. Follow these steps to change your doc's visibility option:

  1. Click the blue Share button to open the Sharing dialog.
  2. Below the sharing box, go to the Get Link box, click Change.
  3. Click the drop down arrow and choose who can see this doc from the list. 
  4. Click Save.
  5. Click Done to close the Sharing dialog and return to your doc.
