Collaboration in molecular modeling often relies on effective sharing and management of critical documents. With many researchers and designers working together, having a streamlined approach to share and control document access is crucial. This guide explores how you can leverage SAMSON Connect to share documents effectively, giving you complete control over their visibility and accessibility.
Why Document Sharing Matters for Molecular Modelers
In the world of molecular modeling, accurate collaboration ensures meaningful results. Whether you're working with colleagues or sharing discoveries with a wider community, securely managing document access is a constant challenge. SAMSON Connect provides a solution that simplifies the process, while letting you regulate access levels for your research documents.
Getting Started with Document Sharing on SAMSON Connect
Sharing your documents on SAMSON Connect is as simple as clicking Home > Publish in the SAMSON platform. This action brings up a dialog window where you can fill in the document's name, description, and, importantly, its visibility settings. Here, you have three visibility options:
- Public – Everyone can access the document, and modifications require access rights.
- Hidden – Only those with the document's link can access it, but editing still requires permissions.
- Restricted – Both viewing and editing the document require specific access rights.
This clarity in options ensures that you can control who collaborates with you while keeping your vital work protected.
Access and Manage Shared Documents
Once shared, all your documents can be accessed and managed under your account on SAMSON Connect. You can revisit visibility settings and permissions anytime, offering flexibility as your team's requirements evolve. Additionally, documents shared with you are readily available, streamlining collaborative workflows.
Publish and Share Effortlessly
Once you've set up your document details and visibility preferences, finalize the process by clicking Publish document. A unique link to your document is generated and provided within the same window, allowing you to share it directly with teammates, collaborators, or the broader scientific community.
