The Problem

This feature lets you control access to individual PDF documents stored in a shared folder. It helps ensure that only authorized people can open or view specific files, reducing accidental exposure of sensitive information.

The Solution

When PDFs are stored in a shared folder, not every document should be accessible to every collaborator. This feature provides document-level access restrictions so you can limit who can open specific PDFs while keeping them in the same shared location. You assign permissions per document, ensuring sensitive or confidential files are visible only to approved users. This helps prevent accidental sharing, supports internal privacy requirements, and reduces the need to create multiple folders just to separate access. The feature is useful for teams that share a common repository but handle mixed-sensitivity content, such as contracts, HR records, financial reports, or client documentation. It also supports simpler collaboration by keeping project files together without compromising security. Access restrictions can be applied as needs change, such as adding a reviewer temporarily or revoking access after a project ends. By centralizing files while segmenting access, the feature improves organization and strengthens document security. Overall, it enables safer sharing in shared-folder workflows without disrupting how teams store and find PDFs.
