This is not the way I understood hedgedoc works. To share the note between different users you need to share its url. I’m not sure whether it’d be advisable to use the publish button to do so.
You need to set access rights (upper right corner to your likings):
tried editable and freely. id like to share all of my notes with all users. the publish button gives me some kind of static link i guess to the note. i read something bout collaborative markdown note edit feature. so i would guess shared, ie. editable or freely should show the note in the other users note list?
“Shared” in this context means that multiple authors are able to edit the document at the same time. It does not mean that you automatically share the information about the documents location or existence.
You need to publish or share the information about a document elsewhere.
