Guest Commentors
Invite someone outside your organization to read and comment on a single sermon.
A Guest Commentor is an outside person you invite to read and comment on one specific sermon — a guest speaker, a mentor, an elder, a proofreader. They don't get a seat in your organization and can't see anything else: just the sermon you shared, where they can leave comments. It's the right tool when you want a second set of eyes from someone who isn't on your team.

How guest commenting works
Guest commenting builds on regular sharing. When you share a sermon with someone inside your organization, you pick View, Comment, or Edit. A guest commentor is the same idea pointed outside your organization: you invite an email address, and that person gets comment-only access to that one sermon — nothing more.
Invite a guest commentor
You invite a guest right from the sermon's Share dialog:
Once they accept, the sermon appears in their account and they can start reading and commenting.
What a guest can and can't do
A guest commentor is deliberately limited:
- ✅ Read the sermon you shared with them.
- ✅ Comment — leave comments on blocks and in the Comments tab.
- ❌ Edit — they can't change your blocks.
- ❌ See anything else — their view shows only the sermons shared with them. No other sermons, no projects, no members, and never your vault.
A guest only ever sees the specific sermons you share with them. Inviting a guest never exposes your vault or the rest of your organization.
Manage your guests
Your guests are listed under Members → Guests.
- See everyone you've invited and which sermons they're on.
- Archive a guest to revoke their access when their feedback is done.
Removing or archiving a guest never erases their comments — past comments stay in place, attributed to the former guest, so the conversation history stays intact.
Guest seats and your plan
The number of guest commentors you can have is set by your plan. If you hit the limit when inviting someone, you'll be prompted to upgrade — see Billing.
