Open Information Character Sheets

Hello Forumites! Me and my group are really a friendly bunch, and we play a lot of games where information on other people's sheets are important to know, such as when we are playing Cortex Plus or Fate Core. We currently have been using Bio's to put all character information down in as an open character sheet, but we recently started playing a new game of Fate Core, and would love to use the character sheet provided. The only problem is that the sheet is closed information, and if you have played Fate, you know that is pretty useless. We need to be able to see each other's character sheets. While we could use Bio's for this, we kinda would like the potential for Macro Possibilities that the Character Sheets could offer us. Is there a way to make the Character Sheet section visable to all players?

Only players who have permission to edit a Character can view its Character Sheet tab. See this Wiki page for more details.
Okay... this isn't as an ideal solution as I'd like, however. I do suppose that could work. Thank you.

What part of another character's FATE sheet do you really need to see other than their Aspects? Couldn't you just copy their Aspects to the bio page?
have the gm choose the journal, go to the bio page, click edit, click the 'in players journal'  select 'all players'. do the same thing for 'can be edited and controled by.' scroll down to the save changes.
We don't know your players, but I've never seen or really even heard of an issue with one player changing another player's sheets on them.  It may be entirely viable to just let your players have full control of the sheets to see what they want.
It probably *isn't* a real problem, but I'm in a weird ethics place where I like people to see sheets (I think especially in character creation, people being able to see which Skills you are taking helps the party figure out which roles they are filling), but I like to say only the player who owns the character should be able to edit the sheet. Because, you know, there is always that one joker in every group who will succumb to temptation and start adding things into Bios and what not. Usually harmless stuff, but that kinda interaction I kinda would like to nip off at the bud.

I too, would love  for the ability for players to view other character sheets, but not be able to edit them. For example, being able to make pregenerated characters for simple one-shot sessions and not having to duplicate everything in the bio just to show stats.  For now it's actually easier to keep character stats in a Google Spreadsheet where you can lock pages/sections only to certain players but everyone can view them. Which is kind of backwards; although a  suggestion has been made.
