Collaboration features enable multiple people to view, edit, and comment on the same document — all at the same time. You can invite others to collaborate on team projects to facilitate peer editing, or simply share a document to keep colleagues informed.
Invite others to collaborate. Tap Share in the toolbar. iCloud must be enabled on your iPad to invite others to collaborate.
Choose share options. Tap below Collaborate to set who can access and edit the spreadsheet.
After choosing the options you want, tap < Back. Choose how you’d like to send your invitation, then send it.
To add a comment for others to see, select text or an object, tap Insert button in the shortcut bar above the keyboard, then tap Comment. Type your comment and tap Done.
Reply to comments. To view a comment left by a collaborator, tap the comment marker. Tap Reply at the bottom of the comment, type your reply, then tap Done.
Add or remove collaborators. Tap Collaboration button in the toolbar, then tap Manage Shared Document to open the participant list, then tap Share With More People . Tap a method to invite your new participant, then tap Share. To remove a collaborator, tap the person's name, then tap Remove Access.
Create a collaborative class writing book. Have each student contribute one page that includes their story or poem along with drawings and shapes.
Start a threaded group discussion by adding comments to the document. Share a document containing an article or video and invite comments, including embedded links to support other sides of the issue.
You can use collaboration features to create a public document, such as a curated list of resource links, a template that can be easily copied and modified, or notes that can be updated in real time. Simply set the Who Can Access options to “Anyone with the link,” set permissions and a password (if desired), and share the link with anyone.
