The files you store on a SharePoint site are usually available to everyone with permissions to the site, but you may want to share specific files or folders with people who don’t otherwise have access to the site. When you use the share button to share files and folders, you can decide whether to let people edit or just view them. You can see who a SharePoint file is shared with, and stop sharing SharePoint files or folders, or change permissions, at any time.
A sharing link can be changed from view only to edit permissions via the Manage Access settings.
Each link that has been created will be listed separately in the Links giving access section of the Manage Access settings. Please note that if you delete a sharing link, this will affect all users that have been given access via that link.
When you use the option to share with Specific people, it is often useful to access the settings to add or remove users rather than creating additional sharing links.
