dear community,

regarding the permissions in the sharing-mode: anybody that has the link can only view but not edit!?  
by the way - one question regarding the permissions: is it really so that we have the option to allow in the sharing options

a.any one who has the link can view  
b. but not edit  
question: does that mean that any body that has the link can only view - but is not (!!!) allowed to edit or let us say to comment the image in the project

love to hear from you

There are some related issues that are tracked already:

- [feature: Share design/file with others who are not on your team](https://github.com/penpot/penpot/issues/2739) (github)
- [sharing feature is hard to discover](https://github.com/penpot/penpot/issues/855) (github, but also on [taiga](https://tree.taiga.io/project/penpot/issue/1604))
- [“View only role”](https://tree.taiga.io/project/penpot/us/1056?backlog-exclude_status=2076392,2076391,2076390&backlog-q=view%20mode&no-milestone=1) (tracked on taiga)

(_github_ is where community files issues, the team then takes the ones to work on over to _taiga_)

My hope would be that we get google-drive-like sharing options one day, but so far the model is more limited.
