Managing Smart Table Access and Sharing

Share Smart Tables with teammates, set Viewer or Editor permissions, enable organization-wide access, and collaborate in real time.

When multiple analysts need to work from the same competitive landscape or drug screen, sharing a Smart Table gives your team one live version to build on instead of emailing spreadsheet copies back and forth.

Open the sharing panel

You can open the Share panel from two places: click Manage Access in the top-right of your Smart Table, or click the grey/green tag next to the table title.

Share with specific people or teams

In the Share panel, use the Select Recipient dropdown to find who you want to share with. Set the Role dropdown to Viewer or Editor, then click Share. Repeat for additional people or teams, then click Done.

Share with your entire organization

At the bottom of the Share panel, find Organizational access. It defaults to Restricted. Select your organization name and click Done to make the table visible to all Maven Bio users in your org. It will appear in their Your Work section.

Manage existing access

From the same Share panel, you can:

  • Change roles: Switch a user between Viewer and Editor at any time.

  • Revoke access: Click the delete icon next to a name to remove their access.

  • Copy link: Share a direct URL via Slack, email, or chat. The link only works for users who already have access.

Viewer vs. Editor permissions

New Smart Tables start as private. When you share, you choose one of two roles:

Viewers can open and read the table but cannot edit or delete it.

Editors can edit the table content and delete it. Sharing does not create a copy. If an editor deletes the table, it is deleted for everyone.

The tag next to the table title reflects access level: grey for private, green for shared.

Collaborate in real time

Shared Smart Tables support live collaboration. You will see initials of other users viewing the table in the top-right corner. When an editor makes a change (adds a column, updates a filter), the change appears instantly for everyone with access.

Collaborators also receive in-app notifications when changes are made, so you can track updates without needing to keep the table open.

What you can do next

With your team working from the same table, add AI Columns to enrich rows with researched data points, or export the table for offline use.
