Introduction to Sharing in OneDrive
Sharing is a crucial concept in OneDrive, allowing users to collaborate and share documents with others. Understanding how to manage shared permissions is essential to ensure that access aligns with the intended objectives.
Viewing Shared Items
To quickly view all shared items in OneDrive, navigate to the 'Shared' tab located on the left side of the screen. Clicking on this tab provides an overview of all items that have been shared, allowing for easy management.
Modifying Shared Permissions
It is important to review and modify shared permissions that no longer meet the initial objectives. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Click on the three dots next to the document in question. 2. Select 'Manage Access' from the options that appear. 3. The access management window will open, displaying all shared permissions for the selected document.
Understanding Access Management Tabs
The access management window contains three tabs: - **People**: This tab shows individual shares made on the document and the modification permissions granted to each collaborator. You can modify access rights or remove shared permissions by clicking on the collaborator's name and selecting 'Direct Access.' A button will appear, allowing you to change sharing settings, such as switching from read-only to edit or removing access entirely. - **Groups**: This tab provides an overview of all groups that have access to the document. Similar to individual sharing, you can modify or remove direct access for groups as needed. - **Links**: This tab displays all the links created for the document. You can delete sharing links here, and once a link is deleted, access to the document will be revoked.
Removing All Shared Items
If the goal is to remove all existing shared items for a document, you can click on the 'Stop Sharing' button at the top of the access management window. This action allows you to regain sole ownership of the document and terminates all types of existing sharing.
Conclusion
Managing shared items in OneDrive is vital for maintaining control over document access. By following the outlined steps, users can effectively view, modify, and remove shared permissions, ensuring that collaboration remains secure and aligned with their objectives.
