Throughout our beta, we’ll introduce new ways to get feedback, invite collaborators, and publish your work. For now, here’s how to share your work!
Invite a collaborator
If you want to work with a co-author, editor, or beta reader, you can invite them to work directly with you in Ellipsus. Click Collaborators in the right-hand sidebar, enter your collaborator’s email address, and click Send invite.
Your collaborator will receive an invite to join your document as an editor. Editors can view the document, edit and collaborate on drafts, and create their own drafts. Learn more about collaborating with editors.
Share a link to a document or draft
By default, your document and draft links are private—only you and invited collaborators can open them.
If you’d like to share your document with a wider audience, you can enable link-sharing. This will allow anyone you share the link with to view (but not edit or comment on) your document or draft—no account required.
Just open your document, click on Share and export in the right-hand sidebar, then click Share document and switch on Share with anyone. Then copy the link and share away.
Ellipsus document URLs are not discoverable. They’re impossible to guess and are never indexed by search engines.
Note: It's currently possible to navigate to the document URL by deleting part of the draft URL. If this is a concern when sharing, you might want to create a separate document before sharing a link.
Export your text
If you want to keep a local version of your writing, you can export a document or draft as a PDF. You can also copy text as HTML or Rich Text in order to add content to your website or publish it to hosting platforms like Archive of Our Own.
