All users with Document permissions can view uploaded Files and Folders unless their access is removed. Three access levels can be granted to shared recipients:

Upload and Manage Revisions

Our upload and revision management feature helps you track changes to a file and revert to previous versions when needed.

With our new file management system, when you upload a file with the same name as an existing one, you’ll be prompted to save it as a revision. To upload a revision, ensure the files have the same name, then click the "Replace As New Versions" option to save.

To view and manage the file's revisions:

To delete a version:

  2. Click on Versions

  3. Hover over the file and a three-dot action button will appear in the far right corner.
