Procedure
Step by step
Choose the delivery format
Use hosted HTML for responsive online reading. Use the rebuilt tagged PDF when an offline file is required and layout changes are acceptable.
Set document visibility
Keep the document private, use an unlisted URL, or make it public. Visibility applies to the hosted document, not direct public storage access to the original.
Create a share link when needed
Generate a scoped link for controlled distribution. Password protection is available only on eligible plans.
Test the reader experience
Open the published URL in a private browser window and check keyboard navigation, headings, links, zoom, mobile reflow, and representative assistive technology.
Publication and versions
A later edit creates a new version. Existing review decisions remain bound to the version that was reviewed, so confirm the current version before release.
Revoke access
Return visibility to private or remove a share when access should end. Do not rely on an unlisted URL as a substitute for authorization when the content is sensitive.
