Collaboration is a cornerstone of modern molecular modeling and design. Sharing and managing your documents efficiently with your team is essential to streamline workflows, maintain consistency, and ensure successful outcomes. Fortunately, SAMSON offers a robust set of tools to share and manage documents easily via SAMSON Connect – a platform designed specifically for molecular modelers.
The Power of Document Sharing in SAMSON
The Document Sharing feature in SAMSON allows you to publish your molecular models, datasets, and project files on SAMSON Connect, ensuring that the right people have access to your work. Whether you need to collaborate with colleagues, share data with stakeholders, or distribute resources broadly, SAMSON makes it straightforward and efficient.
How to Share Your Documents
To publish your documents in SAMSON Connect:
- Go to Home > Publish within SAMSON.
In the dialog window that appears, fill in the name of your document, provide a description, and configure its visibility:
- Public: Anyone can use this document, but editing will require access rights.
- Hidden: Only people with the link can view this document, and editing will require access rights.
- Restricted: Both viewing and editing will require specific access rights.
Once you finalize these settings, click on Publish document. SAMSON Connect will upload your document, make it accessible based on the permissions you’ve selected, and provide you with a link for sharing.
Why Visibility Settings Are Vital
Customizing visibility helps ensure that your document is shared securely and appropriately. Whether your content is meant for public research, private collaborations, or specific teams, these controls keep you in charge of document access while collaborating efficiently. For molecular modelers handling sensitive or proprietary data, the Restricted option provides reassurance by closely controlling who can download or edit your files.
Managing Shared Documents
Once your documents are shared, they can all be accessed and managed directly in SAMSON Connect. There, you can modify access rights, review files shared with you, and keep track of your collaborative projects. It’s an intuitive way to stay organized and maintain efficient workflows in molecular design.
Getting Started
The ability to share documents simplifies collaboration and ensures your team’s modeling or research projects are synchronized and secure.
