Sharing documents via link
How shareable links work and how to control them.
How do I generate a shareable link?
Open the document → Share → Generate link. You get a unique URL that anyone with it can open. No sign-in required by default.
Can I require a password?
Yes. Toggle Require password on the Share dialog and set a password. The link still works but the document is only revealed after the password is entered.
How do I expire a link?
On the Share dialog, set an expiry (1 day, 7 days, 30 days, or custom). After that the link returns "This link has expired" and you can issue a new one.
How do I revoke an active link?
Open the document → Share → click Revoke next to the link. The URL becomes invalid within seconds. You can revoke even if you set an expiry.
Can I see who opened the link?
Yes. The Activity tab on the document shows every open with timestamp and IP. If you require a password, signed-in customer name is also recorded.
