What can somebody I share my plan with see?

Exactly what you switch on: per plan, six sections and Results. They never edit, never see your Action Items or your conversations with Niv, and cannot use Niv on your plan.

A viewer sees only what their access allows, chosen plan by plan. For each plan there are six switches — Ages & assumptions, Investments, Loans, Income, Spending and Goals — and a seventh, Results. Two buttons set them all at once: Everything and Nothing.

Results are calculated from every section, so they will still show totals for income, spending.

The grid that sets what a viewer sees, for one plan: Everything and Nothing, the six section switches, and Results.

  • Everything / Nothing — every switch on this plan at once.
  • The six sections — Ages & assumptions, Investments, Loans, Income, Spending, Goals.
  • Results — the readings worked out from the whole plan.
  • The warning that appears when Results is on but a section is off.

Illustrative figures — not anybody’s real plan.

What Results means

Results covers the Overview, the Retirement Tracker, the Freedom Ladder, Investment Performance and the FFI score — everything calculated from the plan. Because those are calculated from every section, turning Results on while a section is off still reveals that section's totals, and the grid says so: "Results are calculated from every section, so they will still show totals for…".

Which plans

On a plan with no partner there is one plan to set. Once your plan has a partner on it there are three — yours, your partner's and the Family plan — and each has its own row of switches. A viewer allowed only the Family plan sees combined section totals, never an individual row.

What a viewer can never do or see

  • Change anything. Every screen is view only, and the banner at the top says "You are viewing …'s plan … — view only."
  • See your Action Items. They are your to-do list, not a reading.
  • Read your conversations with Niv, or use Niv on your plan.
  • Make the server reveal more. Anything a viewer's screen calculates is worked out from your saved plan, not from anything they send.

If nothing in a view has been shared with them, their screen says "Nothing in this view is shared with you." If Results is off, it says "The results — the verdict, the projection and the scores — are not shared with you."

Changing it later

  1. In Family & sharing, find them in the People table.
  2. Press Change access, adjust the switches and press Save what … sees.
  3. Less access applies at once. More access, on a plan you share with a partner who has joined, waits for your partner's approval.

See this in your own plan.
