Sharing

Share a file, a folder, or the project, give each person a role, work together in the browser, and turn the share off when you are done.

Share a file, a folder, or the project

Sharing needs a Sundial account. Choose Share from a file's or folder's row in the sidebar, or from the Share button in the top bar, which can also share the whole project:

  • A file: that document, and the comments made on it while it is shared.
  • A folder: the files inside it.
  • The project: everything, plus the chats you use after sharing.

Only what you picked syncs. The rest of the project stays on your machine. What each scope uploads and the .env rule: Privacy and security.

Three roles

Invite people by email, or turn on "Anyone with the link", at one of three levels. Someone invited by email joins on sign-in.

RoleCan
ViewerRead.
CommenterRead and comment. Signed in, their edits arrive as suggestions, the same way agent edits do.
EditorEdit directly.

Set the link back to Restricted in the Share menu to revoke it.

The Share dialog: invite by email with a role, the people with access, and general access

Working together in the browser

Collaborators show up as live cursors, and comments and suggestions flow both ways. Someone without the desktop app opens the same document at sundial.md in a browser: the same editor, suggestions, review, comments and history. Their edits are attributed to them like everyone else's.

A cloud workspace, made at sundial.md/new, lives on Sundial's servers and is live multiplayer by default; what that means for your data, and how to delete it, is on Privacy and security.

Sign in to see workspaces shared with you on the home screen.

On a phone the layout is a reader and a chat surface, not the full editor; suggestions and comments work (FAQ and limits).

Stop sharing and you are local again

Open the same Share menu and turn the share off. Your copy stays on disk and you are fully local again.
