  4. Default Anyone with the link can view is selected. That means they can view the item but cannot comment or edit it. If you would like to change that, select from the dropdown menu. Note: People will not be able to access the comment history of an item from a shareable link, so any resolved comments will not be accessible.
    • Can view: can view but cannot comment or edit.
    • Can comment:  can view and comment but not edit.
    • Can edit: can view, comment, and edit.
    • Disabled: Turn off the shareable link.   Screenshot 2024-03-11 at 12.23.11 PM.png
  5. (Optional) A password toggle is required to password-protect the link.Screenshot 2024-03-11 at 12.27.48 PM.png
    • You can create your password.
    • Click Save.
  6. (Optional) Allow Content Approval toggle on to enable and indicate "@ username" to notify the user to approve this content. Setting Allow content approval will mean users who view the shareable link will have the option to approve Content with a message from within the shareable link only; content approval cannot be done from within the item editor view.

    When enabling content approval, you can set the time when users will receive a notification when approval is given.

Commenting as a Guest User

Comments made by a guest user will appear as such to differentiate them from all users. Guest users can also subscribe to a conversation to receive notifications to their registered email address whenever someone replies to that conversation. However, they cannot be @ mentioned or @mentioned by other users in their comments. Below is a table comparing the permission differences between users and guest users. 

  1. Navigate to Content Workflow.
  2. Open the content tab and select the items you wish to share.

  3. Enter the email address of the user(s) you want to share with. 

  4. Click Show Items to check the item selection before sending.

  5. To view or make changes to the permissions, set passwords and access levels of the selected links, click change permissions then save settings to apply those changes.

  6.  Save settings will bulk apply the changes to all selected items and overwrite any shareable link settings that have been previously applied to the items individually.
