Google - Making a document private

Glee Fan · 9 Aug 20, 01:40 PM

How do I do this please?

The scenario is a a document that has been shared with me and several others by my line manager.

We all have to make a copy and complete the document, however we can all see each other�s in the drive.

I know others are waiting for me to complete mine and will then use mine as a guide. I don�t mind sharing my work as such but I would like to share it back to my line manager first then I can open it up and the others can use it if they wish afterwards.

How can I put privacy settings on it or restrict it when I�m not the owner.

Thanks if you�ve got this far and actually understand what I mean!

Yes, I understand exactly what you mean.

It sounds like the original is in a shared folder, When you make a copy save it in your own personal folder, then when you are ready to share it with your manager you can specify exactly who can see it.
