A ShareLink with tia® Connect is a direct link to a document in the archive. It is unique and requires the recipient to be authorized by a Microsoft Account to see the document.

A folder or a selection of documents cannot be shared by a single share link.

A share link is for single recipient and not for reuse.

The authorization requirement can be disabled by SharePoint web site administrator.

 

  1. Click the document and select Share.

Alternatively, click Share option from the context menu (open by right-mouse-button-click).
