Publish documents

TRY IT OUT

Once you have finished collaborating on a document, you can publish the final version so that everyone that needs it can access it via a web page. When you publish a document, a URL will be returned that you can pass around to anyone that needs to view the file. 

To publish a document:

  • Click on the File menu and choose the Publish to the web command

  • Choose Link to generate a link to the published document, or Embed to embed the published document in another website

  • Click on the Publish button

If prompted to confirm you wish to publish the document, click on OK. 

You will now be given the link or embed code for the published document. 

You can copy this Link URL and paste it into a message to anyone you want to be able to view the file. Similarly, you can copy the embed code and paste it into a website to show the published document.
