Collaborations and Privacy concerns

[mrshunterruns]

Is there a way to create a Collaboration that does not allow the students to see the other student's email addresses if they click "share" on the Google doc?

Hello @mrshunterruns 

Thank you for contacting the Canvas Community. We're sorry to hear you've been experiencing issues with students seeing emails via the Collaborations tool. This external app by Google that has been integrated into your Canvas course doesn't yet have a privacy or anonymous option. Students will be able to see the other students' information when sharing and using the app. You are welcome to speak with Google about this, but for now it doesn't appear that it is an option. Hopefully this helps!

Here is the Canvas guide:
