Updated over a week ago

Depending on the user’s document permissions, the files can be downloaded as:

  • Encrypted version

  • PDF

  • Original format

Downloading a file is also possible in the online view mode.

In case Administrators select folders or files containing any applied redactions, they will have an additional option to download the Unredacted version.

Please keep in mind that if a selection contains files without applied redactions, they will be downloaded in their original format.

When in Documents, download multiple files or folders by selecting them in the list and either:

  • Clicking Download in the top panel

  • Right-clicking and pressing Download

The files and folders will be downloaded in a ZIP archive.
