Marking Document as Private

Marking Document as Private

Introduction

Sometimes, you may upload a document that’s bookmarked or tagged to a line item, or even stored in the Permanent folder—but you still don’t want to share it with the auditor. In such cases, you can easily mark the document as private. This way, it remains in your records but won’t be visible and shared to the auditor.

Step 1: Go to DMS and select the relevant fund.

Notes
Note: Unmarking a document as private does not automatically re-share it with the auditor. If you wish to share it again:
  1. Remove it from the Permanent folder (if applicable).
  2. Then go to the Submit Additional Documents section to share it manually.
