I want to create a master Paper doc with other docs in it

I want to create a Paper doc for a large collaboration group where I have only have to edit one Paper and create other documents that certain portions of the group can see from my master doc. Ideally a H1 - A could be linked to document 2, H1 - B goes to document 3, etc. I'm sharing too much info across one doc and my people aren't reading it fully OR I'm trying to put the same info into 4-6 different documents and miss putting it into one of the docs.

    Hey Rledford, thanks for posting to the Dropbox Community!

     

    If I understand correctly, you'd like to create a Paper doc and within the Paper doc, create links to other Paper docs, right?

     

    Firstly, can you check and let me know if you're on the older version of Paper or the 2020 release of Paper?

     

    You can check, by following these steps.

     

    Keep me posted.

      I want everything I type in Doc 1 H1 to also be typed into Doc 2. Then what I type in Doc 1 H2 to be typed into Doc3. I will give persons A, B & C access to doc 2. I will give persons X, Y, and Z access to Doc 3. None of those people should have access to Doc 1.

        Hi Rledford, currently, this feature isn't available on Dropbox Paper, as it doesn't work that way. 

         

        Each Paper doc is its own file, and can't have sections linked to or visible in another Paper doc.
