Important:
Make sure that the intended recipients/signers are the only ones accessing the document through their link. Recipients are identified through their unique links.Share a document link in a desktop/mobile browser
To share a document via link:
- Open a document and click the “Share” button on the right-hand panel;
- Click “Generate links”;
- PandaDoc will generate individual links for recipients. Click “Copy” to copy the link to your clipboard;
- Close the popup. You can re-visit the links by clicking “Share”
Note:
generating document link(s) transfers the document into the Sent status. If you have auto reminders set up on this document, they will be activated after the document becomes "sent", i.e. an auto reminder will be sent to the recipient # of days (that you have set) after the document becomes sent.
Note:
Once you click “Generate links” the document will automatically move to “Sent” status so you will not be able to send the document via PandaDoc. If you’d like to send via PandaDoc and share via link, click “Send” in PandaDoc first. Once the document has been sent, you can click “Share” to generate links.If you edit a document after sharing it, the document will move back to “draft” status and your recipients will no longer be able to access it. To move the document back to “sent” status (so your recipients can access it again), go to “Share” and click “Generate links” again. No need to resend the links (the links will remain the same).
