Share a document version and manage access

Last updated on Oct 28, 2026

Use a private version link to let someone view a specific document version. Use internal permissions for people who are already members of the workspace.

Create a private link

  1. Open the document and use Share to open the version-sharing dialog.

  2. Enter the recipient email.

  3. Expand Access and expiry. Choose preview access or access to view and download the original, and set the expiry.

  4. Select Email this private link to the recipient if you want Contracy to send it.

  5. Choose Create share link. Copy the private link shown in the dialog.

The link grants access to this version only. Treat it as private: anyone who has a valid bearer link may be able to use it. Preview access cannot prevent someone from saving content displayed on their screen.

Revoke a link

Open the sharing dialog, find the link and choose Revoke link. The link also stops working when it expires or the creator no longer has the required access.

Give a workspace person access

Use the internal access controls to choose a workspace person and select View and download or Edit and collaborate. Save the permission. Remove an explicit grant with Revoke explicit access.

Restricted matters still require explicit participation. An internal document grant does not bypass that restriction. Confidential documents have additional access restrictions.

Sharing and signing are separate

A view link does not request a signature. Use Request signatures when a person needs to complete fields and submit signing consent.
