Q: What's the difference between allowing editing and not?
A: "Allow editing" unchecked (default): The person can see the document and read its contents but cannot make any changes. "allow editing" checked: The person can view the document and make changes to it, just like you can
Q: Can I stop sharing a document with someone?
A: Yes. Navigate to the document, click Share, and then remove the person's access. They will immediately lose access to the document.
