Shared With You

Open a share link someone sent you and the diagram lands under Shared with you, ready to reopen any time.

Shared with you collects the diagrams other people have handed you, so a link a colleague sent last week is still easy to find this week. It sits in the Explorer's Quick find section, just below Recent, and shows a count of how many diagrams are waiting.

How a diagram gets here

When you open a share link that someone sent you, that diagram is remembered and added to Shared with you. You do not have to do anything extra: opening the link once is enough for it to show up here afterwards. Until you have opened a shared link, the section stays empty, with a prompt explaining that anything shared with you will land here.

Working with shared diagrams

  • Reopen a shared diagram by clicking its row, no need to dig the original link out of your messages.
  • You can dismiss a diagram from the list when you are done with it. That only removes it from your Shared with you view; it does not affect the diagram or anyone else's access.
  • Your access follows the share link's permissions, so whether you can edit or only view depends on how the owner shared it.

Shared diagrams stay separate from My Work: they are other people's diagrams you have access to, not your own library, so they never clutter your folders.
