Hiding Attachments and Links

By default, attached files are accessible to assignees and they are expected to read them in addition to the main document. You can hide an external file attachment or web address link from assignees but leave it visible to those with permission to edit the document (the document owner, an assigned proxy author or writer, or an administrator). This retains the reference without requiring assignees to read the referenced material.

Note: Links to other PolicyTech documents cannot be hidden. They are always accessible to assignees.

To access the Attachments list, do one of the following:.

Click the Edit Document tab and, if the content looks like that shown below, click Links & Attachments, and then click Attachments.

Click the Edit Document tab and, if content looks like either of the following, click Attachments.

While editing a document after selecting Open with Microsoft Office Online or Open in Office, expand the Insert Link menu in the PolicyTech Tools panel, and then click Attachments.

In the column with in the header, click to clear the check box of each external file attachment or web address link that you want to hide.

Click OK to close the Attachments window.
