1. Different ways of sharing a draft

A draft can be shared with either other Draft.io users (who have an account) or guests (who don't). There are two ways of sharing a draft:

• Share the draft link. Other Draft.io users, as well as guests, can join the draft. Before sharing the link, you have to activate the option Enable link sharing.
• Send an invitation by email. Only Draft.io users can join the draft. People you invite who don't have an account must create one to join the draft.

2. What is a draft's URL?

Each draft has a unique URL (or web address) consisting of the app's domain name 'https://draft.io' + 44 letters or numerals.

For instance: 'https://draft.io/zhq9f9z9rd44hd8z8crncrn7y8u26cpcnfsyberkngfy' like in the example below.

3. Drafts' user roles and permissions

3.1 Roles' rational

There are 4 roles for a shared draft:

• Owner: this is the user who created the draft. The Owner has all rights concerning the current draft and can transfer the draft's ownership to another user.
• Editor: can share the draft, modify other users' roles, and facilitate and edit the draft.
• Restricted editor: can only edit the draft but can't lock/unlock items and facilitate a workshop (launch voting sessions, activate the pooling booth mode, sync view, etc.).
• Reader: can only visit a draft. The Reader can also duplicate it to reuse it on his side.

3.2 User Roles and Permissions

And then?

If you consider sharing several drafts at once, maybe you should share a folder.
