Can you set a time limit and or set a new link for Published Sheets?

Options

Hi All,

I would like to publish a sheet without a login which includes documentation for a Project Tender to a set group of recipients. I have created my sheet so it contains Part 1 - Tender documents and Part 2 - Construction documentation. Ultimately i would like to use this as a form of document control.

My query relates to;

I would like to maintain the same sheet however share the link to a group of tenderers and then remove the unsuccessful parties and retain all the information for the winning supplier.

  1. Can you remove parties individually from access to the sheet - it appears this is not possible
  2. Can you create a new link and cancel the old link which effectively removes any access.

I do not want the unsuccessful parties to maintain visibility post the tender period.

I hope this makes sense!

Thanks,

Tim

    Not with a published sheet, but if you share them to the sheet itself then you can remove individuals at will.

    Hi @Tim N

    I hope you're well and safe!

    Please see my comments/answers below.

    1. Can you remove parties individually from access to the sheet - it appears this is not possible

    [Andrée Starå] Yes, you can, but not for a Published sheet.

    • There might be a 3rd-party Portal solution that could help. Is that an option?
    1. Can you create a new link and cancel the old link which effectively removes any access.

    [Andrée Starå], No, I'm pretty sure it would be the same link, but you could remove the user's access instead. You'd share the sheet/Workspace instead and then handle the access from there.

    Would that work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic week!

    Best,
