Sharing a document

Copy a direct Canvas document link and understand who can open it.

Every Canvas document has one direct link. Open the menu above the title and choose Copy share link, then paste it into a message, comment, or another app. Renaming the document does not break an old link.

A share link is not an invitation. The recipient must already have access to the document. If they do not, Monad hides whether the Canvas exists.

Canvas access is independent from Spaces. A document can be available to the whole workspace or to specific people, Groups, or Space audiences. Those audiences do not move the document or add it as a Space tab: everyone opens the same direct Canvas page from the Canvas section at the bottom of the sidebar, below Direct messages.

Canvas managers can change access. Editors can update and comment; viewers can read. Workspace admins can manage every Canvas.

Archive

Use Archive from the document menu when the Canvas is no longer active. Archiving removes it from normal Canvas lists but retains the document, comments, and version history. Existing authorized links remain readable.
