When you send an email with docs shared as links, Kamo first checks who can open each doc. If anything needs your attention, it shows you the Access Check before the email leaves.
Think of it as a friendly "are you sure?" that only appears when it matters.
What It Shows
A simple table: one row for each doc, one column for each person you're sending to. Each box says one of these:
- Can Open — this person can already open the doc. Nothing changes.
- Will Get Access — this person will be able to open the doc once you send.
- Needs Your OK — your organization asks you to confirm before this doc goes to this person.
- Cannot Receive — your organization doesn't allow this doc to go to this person.
Each person is labelled so you can see who they are: Member, Team Member, Contact, Lead Contact or Outside Your Organization.
What To Do
- Only "Can Open" and "Will Get Access"? Click Send.
- Any "Needs Your OK"? Read the note, tick I have read the warnings above and want to send it anyway, then click Acknowledge And Send. If you'd rather not, click Back To The Draft.
- Any "Cannot Receive"? That doc can't go to that person. Click the button to remove the docs that can't go, then send the rest, or go back and change the recipients.
Nothing is shared until you send. If you go back to the draft, nobody gets access.
Why A Doc Might Be Refused
- Your organization has a rule about who may receive certain kinds of documents. For example, staff paperwork may only go to your own team members.
- The file is still being checked by Antivirus, or Antivirus stopped it.
- The doc is a kind that can't be shared outside your organization, such as a password vault item.
Everyday Example
You send a client's file to the client and to a title company. The Access Check shows Will Get Access for both, plus Needs Your OK for the title company, because your organization asks for a confirmation before sharing outside. You tick the box and send.
