How to access Distribute mode in Zoho Writer

Overview  

Distribute mode in Zoho Writer provides a single toolbar for all actions related to sharing, publishing, and finalizing your document. Instead of navigating through multiple menus, you can email, share a link, publish to a portal, generate a PDF, print, send document for signature collection, or mark a document as final—all from one place.

Steps

  1. Open a document in Zoho Writer.
  2. Click Distribute in the top-right corner of the editor.
  3. Select the action you want to perform:
    1. Email: Send the document directly via email.
    2. Download: Download the document in DOCX, PDF, ODT, and other file formats.
    3. Publish: Publish the document within your organization or across the internet.
    4. Print: Print the document.
    5. Collect Signatures: Send the document for electronic signatures.
    6. Fill As Form: Fill the form's fields
    7. Mark as Final: Lock the document as the final version and prevent editing.


Note

  1. Marking a document as final makes it read-only. This can be reverted back to the editing state by the document owner.
