How do I ensure data security when sharing maps externally?

Protecting map data when sharing

Use access controls, password protection, or restricted links to limit exposure. Remove sensitive notes or masked data before sharing externally, and prefer read-only exports for broad distribution. Check your tool’s encryption and privacy policies if handling confidential information.

Security steps:

  • Set share links to view-only for external recipients.
  • Remove or redact sensitive nodes and attachments.
  • Use password-protected links and expiration dates.
  • Review user access regularly and revoke unused permissions.

These precautions help maintain confidentiality while allowing useful collaboration and distribution.
