Type in the first person’s name (last name first) or email address and then select their name from the dropdown. Do this for each person. Uncheck the box that says Allow Editing if you only want them to view the file(s). Then click Apply. They should receive an email with a link to the file(s).

If one person is editing the document in their desktop application (e.g. Microsoft Word), that person needs to hit save before the other individuals will see those changes.
