4.7 Sharing specific documents

SharePoint allows you to share documents with others, including external users and those who otherwise don’t have access to the site (See Installation Guide, Chapter 6 for more information on site sharing).

Document sharing can be done directly under File in Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.). This sharing functionality demonstrates SharePoint’s ability to share Sites with others.

People you share with will then be able to work on the same document and it’s not necessary to send the document by e-mail. The recipient receives a link directly to the document. You can also send the document directly by e-mail via this feature.
