For molecular modelers, collaboration and efficient sharing of project files are often critical but cumbersome tasks. With the SAMSON platform, document sharing has been streamlined, allowing users to focus on their scientific goals instead of logistical challenges. Let’s dive into how you can share molecular modeling documents using SAMSON Connect – Documents and ensure seamless collaboration with your peers.
How to Share Your Documents
SAMSON offers an intuitive way to share documents directly from the application. Here’s a quick guide:
1. Open SAMSON and navigate to Home > Publish. This brings up a dialog window where you can configure the details of your document before sharing it.
2. In the dialog box, you’ll need to:
- Provide the name of the document.
- Write a short description to inform your collaborators about what the document contains.
- Choose the visibility setting that best fits your sharing needs:
- Public: Everyone can use the document, although editing will require specific access rights.
- Hidden: Access is restricted to users with the direct link, and editing also requires access rights.
- Restricted: Both using and editing the document require prior access rights.
3. Once you’ve filled in all details, click on Publish document. Your document will then be shared on the SAMSON Connect – Documents platform. The system will also provide you with a shareable link in the same dialog window, making dissemination even easier.
Managing Shared Documents
A significant advantage of using SAMSON Connect is the ability to manage all your shared content. From your account on SAMSON Connect, you can:
- Track all the documents you have shared.
- Review documents shared with you by others.
- Adjust permissions or visibility settings post-publication to adapt to changing needs.
These features tailor SAMSON to the dynamic nature of collaboration in molecular modeling, ensuring privacy, flexibility, and control.

Being able to securely and flexibly share your molecular modeling documents can save hours, if not days, of back-and-forth communication. Whether you’re coordinating with a close colleague or sharing resources with a wider team, SAMSON Connect provides a reliable and user-friendly solution for document sharing. No more worrying about mismatched versions or complicated email threads—everything is unified in one efficient system.
