# View Document in Guest Mode

If you choose to share a document with an external guest, your guest will be notified immediately by receiving an email with a link to the document. 

The email sent to the Guest contains:

-   the name of the person who shared the document with them 
-   the name of the Workspace from which the document was shared, and 
-   The duration for which the document is visible to the Guest i.e. the access duration. 
-   Your guest CANNOT make any edits to the shared document and will also not be able to view the document details or the metadata tags/notes. 

Let’s see how your document will appear to your guest.
