# Sharing a workbook

DataLab supports real-time collaboration in notebooks (think Google Docs but for data science) and sharing your workbooks with different access rights.

To share a workbook, click the 'Share' button in the nav bar.

In this modal, you can:

* Invite specific people to your workbook by using their email
  * The collaborators you add will receive an email with the link to the workbook.
  * Today, you can only invite users that already have a DataCamp account.
  * Your workbook will show up on the dashboard of collaborators you add.
* Change the workbook visibility
  * **Public**: the workbook is open to the community. Others can find, view and comment on your workbook.
  * **Private**: only you and the people you invite have access to the workbook.
* Group workbooks are private by definition, but you can give access to all members in the group that this workbook is part of (see [Creating a workbook](/work/workspaces.md#personal-and-group-workbook) for more info on group workbooks)

### Roles

You can give different people (or groups of people) different roles:

* **Viewer** - Can read the workbook contents, but cannot make edits, leave comments, execute code or manage sharing settings.
* **Editor** - Can read, edit, and execute workbook contents. Can rename, share and publish the workbook.
* **Owner** (only the project creator) - Can do everything the editor can do, but can also delete the workbook.
