Source acceptance and behavior

Admins and writers can share a document or group of documents through contextual actions (⋯) in the document or its preview.

Private documents support email invitations only; the stated first stage instead finds people by searching existing Seed accounts.

Public documents support email invitations and links; the stated first stage uses existing-account search and links.

In public spaces, admins can make individual documents private; documents in private spaces cannot be made public.

An invitation to a document in a private space grants access only to that document and its subdocuments.

The source says an invitation to a document in a public space grants access to the whole space, and public-space document sharing displays only people with the writer role.

Document-sharing permissions cascade to subdocuments; people invited to a parent cannot be removed from its children.

Additional people can be invited to child documents.

Admins can change roles and remove access; writers can do so except for admins.
