Client access

The work and controls available to clients in the workspace depend on roles and permissions. Review this scope separately from an external sharing link for one job.

Shared files

Files selected separately for access through an external link. Enabling a conversation does not expose every file; revoking the link does not recall files already downloaded.

How do requests, revisions and scope changes differ?

A request for a campaign visual can be a client request. Correcting the headline on that visual may be treated as a revision. Adding a new video deliverable may change the scope. Compare the change with the brief’s deliverables and acceptance criteria.
