Invite others to collaborate in Pages on iPhone
You can invite others to work with you on a document in real time by sending them a link to it. Everyone working on the document can see changes as they’re made.
By default, only the people you invite to collaborate on the document can access and make changes to it. You can instead allow anyone who has the link to access the document. If you don’t want others to make changes, you can set the document permission to view only.
Invite people to collaborate
These instructions assume that you’re signed in to your device with your Apple ID and Pages is set up to use iCloud Drive.
Do one of the following:
If the document is open: Tap
.If the document is closed: In the document manager or Files app, open the Pages folder in iCloud Drive, tap Select in the top-right corner, tap the document (a tick appears), tap
at the bottom of the screen, then tap Add People.
Tap Share Options.
Below Who Can Access, tap an option:
Only people you invite: Only people who sign in with an Apple ID can open the document. People don’t need to have an Apple ID before you invite them; however, they need to create one before they can open your shared document.
Anyone with the link: Anyone who has the link to the shared document can tap or click the link to open the document. To protect it with a password, tap Add Password.
If this document already has a password, it applies to the shared document as well, so you don’t need to enter a new one. If you want to change it, tap Change Password.
Below Permission, tap an option to set what others can do:
Can make changes: People can edit and print the shared document.
View only: People can view and print the shared document but not edit it.
If you set access to “Only people you invite” (in step 3), you can change individual permission settings after you share the document.
Tap Add People in the top-left corner.
Tap a method for sending the link.
To send the link using a service like Twitter, that account must be set up on your device. (If you already use that account on your device, then it’s set up; if not, set it up in Settings.) To use a service that’s not listed, tap Copy Link.
Type an email address or phone number for each person.
If you invite someone using an email address or phone number that isn’t associated with their Apple ID, they won’t be able to accept the invitation until they add the email address or phone number to their Apple ID. Instructions are provided when they tap or click the link in the invitation.
Enter any other requested information, then send or post the message.
If you chose Copy Link, tap where you want to paste the link, then tap Paste.
The link appears in the body of the email, message or post along with the document title — make sure you don’t edit or delete it.
Important: When you tap Share, a link to the document (which includes its title) is created on iCloud. If the title or content of the document is confidential, make sure you ask recipients not to forward the link to anyone else.
After you share a document, a tick appears on the Collaborate button 
to indicate the document is shared. To see all your shared documents, tap Recents at the bottom of the document manager.
Invite more people
If you’re the owner of a shared document whose access is set to “Only people you invite,” you can invite more people.
Note: If the document access is set to “Anyone with the link,” you can’t invite new people as described in this task. Instead, simply send them the link (see the next task).
Do one of the following:
If the document is open: Tap
, then tap Add People at the bottom of the participant list.If the document is closed: In the document manager or Files app, open the Pages folder in iCloud Drive, tap Select in the top-right corner, tap the document (a tick appears), tap
at the bottom of the screen, then tap Add People.If the document is closed: With the document manager in browse view, tap Select in the top-right corner, tap the document (a tick appears), tap
at the bottom of the screen, then tap Add People.
Tap Share Options, then tap the permission setting for the new people.
This setting affects only the new people you’re about to invite; it doesn’t change the permission of those you’ve already invited.
Tap Send Link, tap a method for sending the link, then enter any requested information.
The link may appear in the body of the email, message or post as a stylised graphic with the document title — make sure you don’t edit or delete it.
You can change individual permission for the new people after you send or post the link.
For details on setting permissions and sending the link, see “Invite people to collaborate” above.
Send the link to more people
If your document access is set to “Anyone with the link”, you can give new people access to the document simply by sending them the document link.
