What if I make changes to a document after sharing a link? Which version will my colleague see?
When you colleague clicks the link, they will open the latest version of the document.
Links always open the latest version.
For instance, let’s say you sent a link to a project plan by email a few days ago to colleagues. Then, you made some updates to the document 24 hours after you shared the link. When your colleagues open the link 48 hours after you shared the link, they’ll be directed to the latest version with your latest updates, not the version at the time of sharing.
This statement comes from the M-Files Help Center page https://help.m-files.com/guides/sharing-information/, but it is not always true.
- If I create this link for a specific email address, then the above information is true.
- If I create a link that can be sent to any email address, then the above statement is false.
- This has been tested by myself and another user in my company.
Please verify what visitor links should allow users to see most recent versions even if the link is a day or 2 old.
