Overview

Shared documents often need updates as processes change. In DocuFast, you can edit a document without breaking its sharing link, ensuring viewers always see the most recent version. DocuFast allows you to update shared documents while keeping the same shareable link, so people don’t lose access or get outdated information.

How Shared Links Behave When You Update a Document

When you update a document in DocuFast:

• The sharing link stays the same

• Anyone who opens the link sees the latest version of the document

This means you can improve clarity, fix errors, or update steps without needing to resend a new link.

What You Can Update Safely

You can update shared documents to:

• Correct mistakes or typos

• Improve wording or step clarity

• Update screenshots or visuals

• Add or remove steps

These changes automatically apply to the shared document without affecting access.

What Viewers Experience

For people using a shared link:

• The document continues to open normally

• The most recent version is displayed

• No action is required on their end

Best Practices When Updating Shared Documents

Make Meaningful Changes Intentionally

Avoid making frequent or unnecessary edits to documents that others actively use. When possible, group changes together to reduce confusion.

Communicate Major Updates

If an update significantly changes the workflow:

• Inform users that the document has been updated

• Clarify what changed and why

This is especially important for client-facing or training documents.

Important Things to Remember

• Shared links do not break when documents are updated

• Viewers always see the latest saved version

• Public viewers remain view-only, even after updates
