Introduction

Gamma allows you to easily share your docs, decks, and sites with others. Whether you need to collaborate with teammates or share a read-only link, Gamma’s sharing settings help control who can view, comment, or edit your content.

What Are Sharing and Collaboration Settings in Gamma?

Gamma provides flexible sharing options that allow you to:

  • Share your gamma with a link (view-only or with permissions)

  • Set workspace permissions to control member access

  • Enable password protection (for Pro users)

How to Share a Gamma

Step 1: Open the Sharing Menu

  1. Open your gamma.

  2. Click the "Share" button at the top of the screen.

Step 2: Select Permission Settings

  1. Choose the access level:

    • No access – Users cannot view, comment, or edit.

    • View – Users can view, but not comment or edit.

    • Comment – Users can view and comment, but not edit.

    • Edit – Users can view, comment, and edit.

  2. Copy the sharing link and send it to collaborators.

Pro Tip: If you want to share a read-only version of your gamma, simply copy the link in the URL bar.

How to Password-Protect a Shared Gamma (Pro Feature)

Step 1: Enable Password Protection

  1. Click "Share" at the top of your gamma.

  2. Under Advanced Settings, toggle Password Protection on.

  3. Set your password.

  4. Share the password with recipients so they can access the gamma.

Note: Only users with the password will be able to view your gamma.

How Workspace Permissions Work

Workspace settings override individual sharing settings.

  • If your workspace is set to "Members can edit," they will always have editing access—even if your gamma is set to "Anyone with the link can view."

Workspace permissions ensure consistency in team collaboration.

Pro Tip: If you need stricter control over who can edit, adjust your workspace settings rather than just individual gamma sharing settings.

FAQs & Common Issues

Why can’t my colleague edit the gamma, even though I shared it?

  • Check the following:

    • Ensure you have set their permission to "Edit" instead of "View" or "Comment."

    • If they are part of your workspace, check your workspace settings to see if their permissions are restricted.

Why isn’t my password-protected gamma opening for a recipient?

  • Ensure the recipient is entering the exact password you set.

  • If the issue persists, reset the password and share the new one.
