The dossier can be shared, regardless of its status. Once released, it is visible to all the channel participants.
A dossier is essentially a document based on 3 main principles:
- SHARING - No matter what the status is, you can share your dossier with any person in your organisation or with a channel. In the first case (dossier is shared directly to a user) the user can find this dossier on My space - Dossiers in the Shared with me tab. In the second case, everyone that has access to the channel (the dossier is shared with) can see the dossier in the search results, and receive a notification that you have shared such a dossier. So, if you share the dossier, and change it, the people with whom you shared it will receive an alert that your dossier is changed.
- STATUS - A Dossier can have multiple statuses. Depending on the configuration, it can be DRAFT, SUBMITTED, and RELEASED. These statues are not affecting visibility or accessibility, as it mainly depends on the above sharing setup.
- ASSIGN - if you assign the dossier to any individual in your organization, the person can edit the dossier.
Please note that Organisation managers can always take ownership of anyone's dossier.
