Spote lets you share individual notes with other users via email invitation. You control whether each person can view or edit the note, and you can revoke access at any time.

Sharing a note

1

Open the note you want to share

Navigate to the note in your note list and open it in the editor.
2

Click the Share button

Click the Share button (the share icon) in the editor toolbar. This button is only visible to the note owner.
3

Enter the recipient's email address

Type the email address of the person you want to invite in the input field.
4

Choose a permission level

Select either Can view (read-only) or Can edit (write access) from the dropdown next to the email field.
5

Send the invitation

Click Invite. Spote sends an email to the recipient with a link to accept the invitation.

What the recipient sees

The recipient receives an email containing an invitation link. Clicking the link opens Spote in their browser — they must sign in to an existing account or create a new one. After signing in, Spote takes them directly to the shared note. If a note was shared with Can view access, the recipient sees an info banner at the top of the editor indicating they have view-only access.

Permission levels

  • Read — the recipient can view the note but cannot edit, share, or delete it.
  • Write — the recipient can edit and save the note but cannot share it with others or delete it.
  • Owner — that’s you. You have full access: edit, share, and delete.

Managing shares

Open the Share dialog on any note you own to see all existing invitations. Each entry shows the recipient’s email, their permission level, and whether they have accepted the invitation yet. To revoke access, click Remove next to the person’s email address. Their access is removed immediately.

Notes shared with you

Notes shared with you appear in your note list alongside your own notes. If you have read-only access, the editor shows an info banner at the top to let you know you cannot make changes.
You can only share notes you own. Collaborators with Write access cannot reshare the note.
