Stop sharing a notebook
If you have a shared notebook, and you don’t want other people to see or edit it anymore, you can remove permissions for one or all users, or change the sharing permission settings.
If you want to stop someone from editing your notebook, but still let them view it, change their permissions from Can edit to Can view.
To stop all sharing, delete all the sharing links and stop sharing with people who have direct access.
