Does the client need a Pacten account?

No. With Only people I list, they enter their email and get a six-digit code to open it.

No. A shared link is read only.

If I turn sharing off and on again, does the link change?

No. Revoking keeps the same address, so turning it back on gives the client the same link.

Sharing a Doc Hub document - Pacten Guides

2026-10-13

Open a document and click Share. The panel has two halves: who inside your workspace can see it, and whether people outside can open it by link.

Inside your team

Workspace or private

Everyone in this workspace: anyone on your team who can use Doc Hub can open it.
Only me, and people I add: private to you plus the members you pick.

Outside your team

A read-only link for clients

Turn on the link

Switch on Anyone with the link. The link is read only.

Choose who can open it

Leave it open to Anyone with the link, or pick Only people I list and add their email addresses. Listed people confirm their email with a six-digit code; they do not need an account.

Set an expiry

Under Expires, choose 7, 30 or 90 days, or Never.

Copy and send

Copy the link and send it however you like. Revoke this link switches it off at any time.

Pick a look

The Look setting in the share panel changes how the shared page is styled for the reader.
