As a molecular modeler, sharing your research and molecular designs with colleagues can sometimes be a cumbersome process. Whether you’re collaborating on a multidisciplinary project, seeking feedback, or providing results, ensuring that your data is accessible, secure, and centralized is key. That’s precisely where the Shared Documents feature of SAMSON Connect comes in.
This post will introduce you to the shared documents functionality, streamlining your workflow and improving collaboration.
What are Shared Documents?
Shared documents on SAMSON Connect allow you to store, publish, and collaborate on molecular designs and research data. These documents are hosted online, accessible to your collaborators, and integrable directly into the SAMSON platform. By leveraging this feature, you can share insights and ensure that the right people have access to the right information at the right time.
Why Use Shared Documents?
If you’re part of a research team or work on collaborative projects, shared documents eliminate the need for version chaos caused by constant email attachments or dispersed cloud storage systems. With SAMSON Connect, your documents can be centrally managed with the following benefits:
- Direct Integration: Documents save directly into SAMSON, so there’s no need for constant exports or imports between tools.
- Controlled Permissions: Decide who can view, edit, or publish the documents, ensuring that your sensitive information remains accessible only to the right people.
- Effortless Collaboration: Team members can access the same files seamlessly, speeding up project timelines and communication processes.
How to Access and Use Shared Documents
It’s easy to leverage this powerful feature. Follow these steps to access and manage your shared documents:
- Sign in to SAMSON Connect with your account credentials.
- Go to the Documents section through your account menu or directly navigate to Shared Documents.
- To share a document, you can publish it directly from the SAMSON platform, allowing others to access your file within their interface.
- To control permissions, manage who has access to your document under collaboration settings. You can make documents private, share them selectively, or publish them publicly depending on your workflow requirements.
Shared documents don’t just stop at providing a storage or sharing option. They represent a way to systematize collaboration, making molecular modeling workflows more transparent, traceable, and efficient. Whether you’re working in academia, an industry R&D department, or simply engaging with the global scientific community, this feature is an invaluable tool for communication and sharing insights.
