External links

External links enable you to share documents and collections outside of runsimply.

Creating external link for document or whole collection is quite similar.

Open options of the collection you want to share in this way 1 and click on External link 2

When popup appears click on Enable external link button 3. Collection will be moved to Shared Collections and external link popup will have additional options for configuring external link.

If you are satisfied with default configuration you can click on Copy to clipboard 4 to copy your external link 5 and share it with others. Disabling link is done by clicking on Disable link button 6.

NOTE: If you have given the link to somebody disabling it will make collection inaccessible via link.

Link options:

• Allow download - Enabled by default. Documents from the collection can be downloaded 7
• Password - Set password for user to enter before accessing collection 8
• Expire date - Set date after which collection will not be accessible 9
• Send link via email - Opens email client so you can send the link via email. Body of the email will be formed and you can change it, if needed  10

Each change will be preserved as you make it and click on Done button 11 closes the popup.
