Share a view-only smart file

How to send a smart file that can't be edited by the recipient

Updated this week

Recipients of a view-only link can view the file without taking actions, and won't see other project files or details, which is perfect if you have other people who need to be in the know on a specific file, but don't need to take any actions.

📣 Note

This setting is visible only when working on a smart file in a project. It isn't available on the template level.
