Sharing and View Only
I would like to be able to share the document/folder with someone without them being able to edit it. I use this in a classroom as I teach, and I'd like students to be able to revisit information which I write. Google Docs has a great function where users could either view only, or have editing rights.

I currently use this feature extensively on Notability and its lack on Goodnotes is the only thing stopping me from switching.
As a teacher it’s just too much work to convert to PDF, then share with students every time I make an edit, or complete another worked example. Whereas with this feature you just update the link (or it syncs in real time) and the students hit refresh on the same link.

Yes, I got the same problem as a teacher! Would be such a time saver!

I am an instructor and 1 currently share my good notes by exporting to PDF, copying to onedrive, and sharing the link. I only want the students to have a read only copy. I have to do this every time I update a students record, several times a day.
The collaboration feature would be ideal if only you could have the option of making the document read only.
This feature would save a massive amount of time and effort. I could update the students progress and they could see the changes immediately -

The sharing option that we have now is good but being able to share with classmates without them editing would be even better. It’s frustrating spending so much time on a document for someone to accidentally delete notes.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put this at the top of your list. I share my personal notes in college with classmates but DO NOT want them to have the ability to edit them. Sometimes when thumb scrolling on our phones, if the eraser tool is selected, sections can easily erased by accident.
