Creating a viewing link is only the start of a model review. When the review ends, the owner should know which links are still active and what each recipient can still open.
Find the link you own
Sign in and open My shares in My files. The list shows active links and expiry dates. You can open a link to inspect its receiving page or choose Stop sharing to revoke it. The workspace's Share panel also has link-management controls for the model you are viewing. Share management follows the account, so clearing browser cookies does not permanently remove your ability to manage links; sign in again.
Only the owner can manage a share. A recipient does not need to sign in to view a link, but a password-protected link also needs its password. Forwarding an unprotected link forwards access to anyone who receives it. Search exclusion keeps the share page out of normal indexing; it is not an authorization boundary.
Know what expiry and stopping do
A link lasts 7 or 30 days from creation unless you stop it earlier or delete its saved source file. After expiry or revocation, CADProps refuses new access through that link. A recipient who already captured a screenshot or extracted display data may still have that copy. Stop sharing to prevent future service access, not to promise data recall.
Deleting a saved file is broader than stopping one link: it removes the account's online original and results and revokes all linked shares. If you only want to end one review, stop that link in My shares instead. If you delete a folder, its files return to All files and their links are not revoked.
Replace a model without confusing revisions
A share is a fixed snapshot. Uploading a newer CAD file does not change the earlier link. For a new revision, open and inspect the replacement file, create a new link, then tell the recipient which revision it represents. Stop the old link when the earlier review should end. Do not describe a replacement upload as an edit to the existing snapshot.
If a link password is lost, the owner cannot retrieve it. Stop the protected share and create a new link with a new password. Send the link and password separately. Public link previews are optional and may be retained by social platforms after the share ends; the sharing page explains the preview boundary.
A short review-closing check
Before ending a project, check My shares for links that are no longer needed. Confirm the recipient has the correct engineering source if the task requires more than a browser view, then stop outdated links. The fixed-revision checklist helps keep the message and model version aligned.
