Your Guide to Effortless Document Sharing and Management on SAMSON Connect.

Are you working on molecular modeling projects and struggling to efficiently share and manage critical documents with your team or collaborators? With SAMSON Connect, you can simplify how you handle and control access to your files while ensuring flexibility and security. Here’s a straightforward guide to using SAMSON Connect for document sharing and organization.

Why Document Sharing Matters in Molecular Modeling

Molecular modelers often deal with complex datasets, analysis files, and simulation results. Ensuring that the right files are accessible to the right people—whether for a seminar, group project, or peer collaboration—can be challenging. Miscommunication or restricted document access can slow down progress. This is where SAMSON Connect’s document-sharing capabilities offer practical solutions to improve workflow and teamwork.

Steps to Publish Documents on SAMSON Connect

You can effortlessly publish and distribute documents on SAMSON Connect by following these steps:

  1. Open the User menu on SAMSON Connect and navigate to Home > Publish.
  2. From the dialog window, fill in the details of your document, such as its name and description.
  3. Choose your document’s visibility level:
    • Public: Anyone can use the document, though only those with access rights can edit it.
    • Hidden: Requires a link to use the document, with editing restricted by access rights.
    • Restricted: Both usage and editing are limited to users with explicit access rights.

Once you’ve completed these steps, click Publish document. The document will then be shared on SAMSON Connect – Documents, where you can manage your shared files.
