Guests

You can collaborate on internal docs with external people like clients, freelancers, agencies, consultants, or colleagues who are not part of your Slite workspace.
Guests are free of charge, and you can invite up to 5 guests per paying member.
Guests cannot be invited during the 14-day trial period.
Guests cannot be linked to a Slack user (see  Integration for Slack  for more details.)

The guest feature is a great way to share docs with people who aren't members of your team. The guest feature helps you to:

  • Share access to a doc without making it public. Keep it confidential.
  • Manage access of individual people, at any moment you can update or retract their permissions.
  • Offer the same level of collaboration as regular members (mentions, comments, notifications, etc)

In case you simply want to share a public link, you use the "Share to web" functionality.


How to invite Guests

    .1You can invite guests via the Share menu of a channel or doc.
    .2Click 'Collaborate with external people'
    .3Submit an email address
    .4Select the relevant permission, writer or reader

You can also send invitations to the people in your contact lists.


What does a guest see?

Your guest will get an email invite, asking them to join your channel. They will be prompted to sign up for Slite, and since they are a guest, this won't change your billing.

Guests will only be able to see the channel or docs that are shared with them. Depending on whether they have writer or reader access, they'll either be able to create content themselves (writer), or just be able to leave comments (reader).

Guests cannot share docs with other people.
