How to set a shared Google doc to allow others to edit as "suggestions"

I've got a Google Doc where I'd like to set its sharing permission to a "suggestion" mode. I see sharing options for "can view", "can comment", and "can edit" and I know that when editing there's a "suggestion" mode that a user can select.

However, I don't want them to be able to choose the full edit mode, I want all their changes to clearly show up as suggestions. Any idea how to force only that level of permission?

Ahhh... So "can comment" actually allow more than just comments, it also allows the Suggestion mode?

Seems like the labeling on that could be a bit better...
Yeah, that's what it does. And I agree, it's a bad user experience for the one who shares the file, they could be more clear about it.
Thanks for the help!
No problem, I'm glad I could help :)
