Viewing, reviewing and editing are different permissions. Check the mode offered for the document before treating the keyboard or app as faulty.

By RJ Computers

Quick answer

Confirm the signed-in account and the access the owner intended to grant. An editing restriction may be deliberate and cannot necessarily be changed on your computer.

Step-by-step checks

  1. Check the current document mode.
  2. Verify the account used to open the link.
  3. Request the required permission from the owner.
