If I share a document with another free Onshape person i.e client. Can he view the document at any time so long as i am making it available to him. Do I have to be in the document for him to see it. The client wants to go to a meeting and show his director what we have done but I will be working on something else. Is this possible?

@joseph_terpend - yes! A free user can be given any permission EXCEPT edit (even if you share as edit, it will be view only).
Yes a free user can export, comment and follow.
No you do not have to be in the document for the sharee to access it.
Yes, its awesome!

Another option is to share a link, which enables viewing in a browser by anyone, no account need. You just need to decide if you're happy to let the link out to the wild, however, share via link can be switched back off if need be.6
