Introduction
For molecular modelers, collaboration is at the heart of success. Whether you’re sharing intricate molecular designs, simulations, or project notes, finding a seamless and reliable way to distribute and control access to files is vital. SAMSON Connect offers a powerful solution to these challenges, allowing users to share documents efficiently and securely. Let’s explore how to leverage this feature to enhance your modeling workflow.
How Document Sharing Works on SAMSON Connect
With SAMSON Connect, sharing documents is as easy as a few clicks. You can publish files directly from SAMSON and control who can access them. Shared documents can be made public, hidden (accessible through a link), or restricted to specific users or groups, ensuring secure yet flexible collaboration.
To share a document:
- Go to Home > Publish in SAMSON.
- In the dialog window, fill in the document name, description, and set the visibility level:
- Public – Accessible to all users, but requires access rights for editing.
- Hidden – Accessed via link, with editing rights restricted.
- Restricted – Both use and editing require designated access rights.
After defining these settings, click Publish document. A link to the published document will be created, allowing you to share it with colleagues, collaborators, or anyone who needs it.
Managing Shared Documents
SAMSON Connect keeps your shared documents within easy reach, offering you full control over each one. You can access and manage all the documents you’ve shared—and those shared with you—in your SAMSON Connect account. Adjust visibility, revoke access, or track usage to maintain control over your valuable data.
For example, modifying these settings later is simple. Just log into your SAMSON Connect account, navigate to the shared document, and adjust its permissions accordingly. Whether you’re organizing a team project, presenting findings to stakeholders, or working collaboratively on a simulation, SAMSON Connect ensures your files are secure and accessible, when and where you need them to be.
Conclusion
SAMSON Connect turns document sharing and collaboration into a smooth and secure process. Whether you want to make your molecular designs public, share them with select collaborators, or maintain strict access control, this tool empowers you to do so confidently and efficiently.
