# How to invite others to collaborate on a document

> How to manage collaborators and permissions in DingTalk Docs: invite individuals, groups, or departments with role-based access (manage/edit/view), enable organization-wide sharing, and adjust or remove collaborator permissions at any time.

## 1. Who can view or edit a newly created document?

* When you create a document under **My Docs**, **only you can view or edit it** by default.

* When you create a document in a **Knowledge Base**, **all members of the Knowledge Base can view it** by default. Their permissions on this document are inherited from the Knowledge Base's "Members and permissions" settings, and can be modified or removed.

* When you create a sub-document **under an existing document**, **all collaborators of the parent document can view it** by default (go to "More - Manage permissions" to see all collaborators of the document). Their permissions on the sub-document are inherited from the parent document, and can be modified or removed.

## 2. How to invite collaborators to view or edit a document together?

For any document, if you want to **share it with others** for joint viewing or editing, you can invite them as collaborators and grant the corresponding permissions.

* Click "Share", and in the "Invite collaborators" search box, search directly for **users, groups, departments, or roles** to add them as collaborators.

* Click "Manage permissions" to view all collaborators of the current document. Click "Add collaborators" to add more people as collaborators.

## 3. How to modify collaborator permissions?

* Go to "More - Manage permissions" or "Share - Manage permissions". In the "All collaborators" list, you can modify a collaborator's permissions or remove them.

* Knowledge Base admins have manage permissions on the document by default, which cannot be modified.

## 4. How to make a document public to everyone in the organization?

* Turn on "Public within organization", and all users in the organization can view this document without being added as collaborators.

* After turning on "Public within organization", you can further configure the permissions for all users in the organization.
