What permission levels (private, read for everyone, edit for everyone) exist for an internal document

Jestor Docs offers three permission levels for each document: private (visible only to whoever created it), read for everyone (the team can view it, but not edit), and edit for everyone (anyone on the team can collaborate directly on the text).

Why have three different permission levels?

Not every document serves the same purpose. A personal draft of ideas shouldn't be visible to the whole team, while a document like the company's mission statement makes sense to keep open for general reading. A collaborative brainstorm document, meanwhile, calls for everyone to be able to edit it at once.

Having these three levels means the company doesn't need different external tools for each kind of text-sharing need.

How to set the document's permission

  1. Open the document you want in Jestor Docs.
  2. Go to the sharing options.
  3. Choose between private, read for everyone, or edit for everyone.
  4. Adjust it anytime, as the document evolves from a personal draft into shared content.

Level Who can access it
Private Only whoever created the document
Read for everyone The whole team can view it
Edit for everyone The whole team can view and edit it
