Stop sharing a document in Pages on iPhone
If you’re the owner, you can stop sharing a document to prevent anyone from viewing or editing it.
Do one of the following:
If the document is open: Tap
, tap Stop Sharing, then tap OK.If the document is closed: With the document manager in browse view, tap Select in the top-right corner, tap a document (a checkmark appears), then tap Share at the bottom of the screen. Tap Show People, tap Stop Sharing (you may need to swipe down in the People list), then tap OK.
Anyone who has the document open when you stop sharing sees an alert; the document closes when the alert is dismissed, and the document is removed from the participants’ iCloud Drive. The link to the document no longer works.
If you later share the document again and set the access to “Anyone with the link,” the original link will work. If the access is set to “Only people you invite,” the original link will work again only for people you reinvite to share the document.
Note: If you’re the owner of the shared document and you move a document to another location, the link is broken, and people lose access to the document.
