Inviting others to share a notebook on SkyDrive
Share a notebook with others so that they can work on it, too. Sharing is a great way to collaborate with other people and trade ideas about a project. If you share notebooks through SkyDrive, people who collaborate with you do not need to have OneNote 2013 or a Microsoft Account (unless you require it for security reasons).
The person who shares the notebook initially is called the owner. When sharing, the owner determines which of the following editing privileges sharers have:
-
Can view . A sharer can view the notebook but not edit it.
-
Can edit . A sharer can view and edit the notebook.
Before you share a notebook, make sure you have the email addresses of the people with whom you want to share it. You send invitations by email to share the notebook.
