Molecular modeling often involves intricate collaboration. Researchers and professionals need efficient, organized methods to share data, maintain control over access, and ensure their collaborators can seamlessly contribute. If you’ve faced the challenge of securely sharing molecular data while keeping it accessible to the right group of people, the document-sharing feature on SAMSON Connect might just be the solution you’re looking for.
Efficient Document Sharing in Action
SAMSON Connect allows you to share your documents effortlessly with colleagues or collaborators. Using the “Home > Publish” function directly from your SAMSON interface, you can ensure your valuable work is accessible to collaborators while retaining robust control over visibility. Whether you’re working on a protein design project or creating molecular simulations, this feature keeps your team aligned.
Visibility Options Tailored to Your Needs
When publishing a document, SAMSON Connect empowers you to set visibility rules:
- Public: The document can be accessed by anyone, but editing will require proper access rights.
- Hidden: Only users with the direct link to the document can access it, and editing still remains restricted to authorized users.
- Restricted: Both accessing and editing the document require specific access rights. This is ideal for sensitive or proprietary information.
With such versatile options, you have full control over how and with whom your content is shared.

How to Get Started
To share a document, simply click Home > Publish within your SAMSON interface. A dialog window will appear, where you can specify a name for the document, write a description, and choose your desired visibility level. Once you hit Publish Document, the document will be uploaded to SAMSON Connect – Documents, and a shareable link will be provided in the same window for quick distribution.

Where to Manage Your Shared Documents
After sharing, you can manage the documents you’ve shared—or those shared with you—in your SAMSON Connect account. This includes adjusting access rights at any time, ensuring that your documents remain secure and appropriately accessible as your projects evolve. Learn more about managing shared documents in the Collaboration – Managing shared documents on SAMSON Connect section.
A Seamless Step Toward Collaboration
This document-sharing functionality addresses a persistent challenge in molecular modeling: the need to collaborate efficiently with confidence in data security and access permissions. Whether you’re performing groundbreaking research or simply streamlining team operations, SAMSON Connect’s sharing capabilities help ensure your projects stay organized and fully accessible when needed.
