Managing Share Links


The best way to manage share links is to click on the share button of the upload that you've previously shared.

  1. If you want to see shared links
    1. Select shared links.
    2. Click on the number under the 'Users' tab to see the persons for whom we shared links once after they review file.

Each link will be indicative a different combination of permission settings as described through the use of icons:


  • The Arrow Through a Door Icon 

This means that the recipient of the link must signup/login to their zipBoard account to access the link.

  • The Chat Bubbles Icon

This means the the recipient of the link will be able to add their own comments and annotations to the upload that has been shared with them.

  • The Eye Icon

This means that the recipient of the link will be able to view the comments and annotations of anyone else that has reviewed the upload.

If the icon is in green, that means that it is one of the permissions that have been enabled for the associated share link on the left in the Shared URL section.

Deleting Share Links

In the event that one of your share links get compromised, or you want to restrict ongoing access to an upload, you can delete it by clicking on the red trash can icon. This will delete the share link from your zipBoard project and doing so means that recipients of that share link will no longer have access via that link.
