Google Docs how to make a Google Doc view only

Prevent unwanted changes to your document by people you’re sharing with.

  •  Avoid unintended edits and mistakes in your Google Docs by using the view-only mode, which makes the document unchangeable and condenses the menu.
  •  Click the drop-down menu next to a person’s name in the Share menu to set whether they have editor, commentor, or viewer permissions.
  •  To change the permissions of someone with a link, click the “Share” button, then change the permission in the “General Access” section accordingly.

Whether you’re sharing your document or working on it alone, unintentional edits can happen. Luckily, Google Docs gives you a simple way to avoid mistaken keystrokes, accidental deletions, and other unintended edits with a view-only mode.
