Publishing/Share a single doc
Share a single doc
Sometimes you don't need a help center — you need to send one doc to one person.
Share links
Any doc can generate a share link: an unlisted, read-only URL keyed by a long random token. Send it to anyone; they see the doc, nothing else — no navigation, no search, no other docs.
Revoke the link at any time and it stops working immediately. Generating a new one invalidates nothing else; share links and site publishing are fully independent — a doc can have both, either, or neither.
Markdown for share links too
Share links support ?format=markdown for the raw markdown version — handy when the recipient is a program rather than a person.
