# Share documents

You can share documents with internal team members and external users through multiple methods. Each method serves different purposes depending on who needs access and what level of visibility they require.

## Sharing methods overview

Leegality provides four ways to share documents:

| Method | Internal users | External users | Scope | Best used for |
|--------|----------------|----------------|-------|---------------|
| CC invitee | ✓ | ✓ | Single document | Real-time updates during signing process |
| Impersonator mode | ✓ | ✗ | All user documents | Admin and granted user can access documents |
| Completion notifications | ✓ | ✓ | All completed documents | Automated notifications when documents are signed |
| Share specific document | ✓ | ✓ | Single document | One-time sharing of completed documents |

## Share with CC invitees

Add a CC invitee to keep someone informed about a specific document's progress. CC invitees receive notifications throughout the document lifecycle, including when invitations are sent, signed, approved, rejected, or when the document is completed.

> **Info — Note**
>
> This method shares a single document while it's in progress. The CC invitee receives notifications but cannot sign or review the document. Learn how [**to add a CC invitee**](https://knowledge.leegality.com/document-execution/leegality-features/invitee-level/types-of-invitee/cc).

**Use this method when:**

- Someone needs to monitor a specific document's progress
- You want to keep stakeholders informed without giving them signing responsibilities
- Both internal team members and external users need visibility

## Share via impersonator mode

Impersonator mode allows admins to grant specific team members access to another user's entire document collection. This is an internal-only feature designed for administrative purposes.

When you grant impersonator access, the authorized user can:
- View all documents in the shared user's account
- Download documents and audit trails
- Perform administrative actions on behalf of the user

> **Warning — Internal access only**
>
> Impersonator mode is available only for users within your organization. You cannot grant impersonator access to external users. Learn how [**to grant impersonator access**](https://knowledge.leegality.com/document-execution/settings/Admin/impersonator-mode#grant-impersonator-access-to-users).

**Use this method when:**

- Team members need ongoing access to another user's documents
- Providing administrative support or troubleshooting
- Managing documents when users are unavailable

## Share via completion notifications

Configure completion notification recipients to automatically receive email notifications when any document is completed. Recipients receive notifications for all completed documents, not just specific ones.

> **Info**
>
> Learn how [**to add completion notification recipients**](https://knowledge.leegality.com/document-execution/settings/Notifications/notification)

**Use this method when:**

- Finance, legal, or compliance teams need to be notified of all completed documents
- You want automated notifications without manual sharing
- Both internal team members and external users need to be informed

## Share specific document and audit trail

Share a completed document and its audit trail directly via email. This is a one-time sharing action for individual documents.

**To share a specific document:**

1. Navigate to the **Completed** section under documents.
2. Find the document you want to share and click on the **⋮** and select **share**.
3. Enter the email address of the recipient. (**Note:** You add up to 15 email addresses.)
4. Click **Send**.

The recipient receives an email with the completed document and its audit trail attached.

**Use this method when:**

- You need to share a specific completed document once
- The recipient needs both the document and audit trail
- You want immediate, ad-hoc sharing without ongoing access
