## Description

This plugin allows you to create documents with WordPress, and to share them with
others so they can also read and edit. Share the unique link to let anyone edit,
or restrict access to specific email addresses.

With the Gutenberg plugin, Docs supports **real-time collaborative editing** — multiple
users can edit the same document simultaneously, seeing each other’s cursors and
changes live.

### Sharing

The share panel (in the document sidebar) lets you control access:

 * **Anyone with the link** — anonymous users get a randomly generated animal name
   and emoji avatar (e.g. „Anonymous Fox”). They can edit text but cannot upload
   files.
 * **Specific people** — invite collaborators by email. They receive a magic link
   to access the editor. Email-invited users can upload files.
 * **Existing users** — add collaborators from the user autocomplete. They get full
   editing and upload access.
 * **Restricted** — only the document author and invited people can access.

### How it works

Documents live entirely in wp-admin — there’s no public frontend. Each doc gets 
a unique and secret shareable URL that opens the editor directly.

**Anonymous visitors** don’t create any database entries. Their identity exists 
only in a browser cookie and disappears when it expires.

**Email-invited people** are created as real WordPress users (without a role) so
their edits show up in revision history. They log in via magic links sent to their
email.
