Every page in Paper has a single share menu with two tabs: Share (invite specific people or open the page to your workspace) and Publish (put it on the public web with a link).
Open it from any page by clicking Share in the top-right of the header.
1. Invite specific people
For a study partner, a tutor, or a small group.
- Open the page and click Share.
- On the Share tab, type an email address in the invite box.
- Pick a permission: Full Access (edit, comment, and share), Can Edit (edit and comment), or Can View (view only).
- Click Invite. Existing workspace members are added straight away. External emails get a pending invite to the page plus a workspace invite - they'll be added the moment they sign up.
Manage existing access in the People with access list. Click any name to change their role or remove access.
2. Open to your workspace
If you're in a workspace, you can hand a personal page to everyone in it.
- Open Share and look under General access.
- Switch from Only people invited to Everyone at [workspace].
The page now appears in the workspace's shared section for every member. Switch back to Only people invited to make it private again.
3. Publish to the web
For sharing notes with a study group, sending revision material to a friend, or making a guide available to the public.
- Open Share and click the Publish tab.
- Toggle Publish to web on.
- Pick a Public permission for anyone who opens the link:
- Can view - read-only
- Can comment - signed-in visitors can leave comments
- Can edit - signed-in visitors can edit
- Copy the Public link under the toggle.
Published pages live at paper.app/p/[id]. Toggle Publish to web off and the link stops working immediately.
A globe row labelled "Published to web" appears on the Share tab too, with a quick Unpublish button.
Manage your published pages
Open Settings → Public Pages to see every page you've published, copy any link, or unpublish in one click.
What recipients see
Whether you share directly, open to your workspace, or publish to the web, recipients see:
- The note content (your writing, summaries, study guides)
- The sources you've added (PDFs, videos, web pages)
- Generated flashcards and quizzes when their permission allows interaction
They don't see:
- Your private review history or mastery scores
- Other pages in your workspace unless those are also shared
