As a molecular modeler, collaborating with colleagues can be challenging when you need to share data, manage permissions, and ensure the right people access your work. In fast-paced research environments, every second counts, and efficient tools for document sharing can make a world of difference.
SAMSON’s document sharing capabilities offer a smooth solution to these common pain points. Whether you’re distributing research findings, sharing visualizations, or combining efforts on a complex molecular design, SAMSON Connect provides the flexibility and control you need to share documents securely and effectively.
Why Use SAMSON Connect?
SAMSON allows you to share your documents directly through SAMSON Connect. What sets it apart is the ability to define document visibility. This gives you a fine level of control over how your materials are accessed and used:
- Public: Everyone can use the document, but editing requires specific access rights.
- Hidden: Only those with the link can access the document. Editing still requires access rights.
- Restricted: Access and editing are limited to users you specifically allow.
These options are ideal for situations ranging from broad collaboration across institutions to private projects within your team.
How It Works
Sharing documents is straightforward in SAMSON:
- Open SAMSON and navigate to Home > Publish.
- A dialog will appear where you can fill in the name of the document, its description, and select the visibility settings appropriate for your needs.
- Click Publish document, and you’re done! The document is now shared on SAMSON Connect, and a direct link is provided for easy distribution.
Why This Matters
Efficient sharing isn’t just about convenience; it’s about enabling real collaboration. With SAMSON, you retain control over your intellectual property while ensuring that relevant parties have the access they need. Whether you’re working on inter-disciplinary research projects or refining simulations, SAMSON’s document sharing features accelerate progress and minimize friction.
Manage and Revisit Shared Documents
All your shared documents, including those shared with you, are easy to access and manage from your account on SAMSON Connect. Whether you need to modify permissions, update descriptions, or remove access for specific users, everything is at your fingertips.
