FILE AND SHARING REVIEW · Workflow idea

Make file sharing and cleanup safer for everyone who depends on the work.

For an authorized file owner, review requests to find, create, move, update, share, or remove files and shared folders. Confirm ownership, destination, audience, and sensitivity; use the least access needed; and require explicit approval for external sharing or deletion before making changes, with a recovery option for important content.

The handoff

A reviewed file or folder action with access scope and owner approval status.

Keep in mind

A link or folder permission can expose many files, while a mistaken deletion can interrupt work. Confirm the right owner and audience, avoid public access unless specifically authorized, and require owner approval before sharing, moving, or removing content.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define file owners and authorized locations

Limit management to approved folders and people with a clear business need.

Set sharing and external-access rules

Require explicit review before granting access outside the intended audience.

Require confirmation for deletion and moves

Show affected files and destinations before destructive or broad changes.

Maintain recovery and audit practices

Document how important files are restored and how sharing decisions are recorded.
