By using Contractbook shared folders you can share documents with only specifically chosen people. By organizing your documents in shared folders you will be able to manage access rights for multiple documents at once. Sharing documents this way is safe and increases both transparency and collaboration between you and all relevant stakeholders.

If you then click on the blue plus sign to the right of the folder name you will be able to create a new Shared folder by naming it:

You will always be able to differentiate a shared folder by the blue color. As a comparison, a private folder is colored in white. 

Once you have created your first shared folder, you will be able to assign subfolders under it by clicking on the three small grey dots to the right of its name. Choose New subfolder from the drop-down menu and give a name to the shared subfolder:

The new subfolder will then be accessible under the main shared folder and you will furthermore be able to add new subfolders under the subfolder. Additionally, you can also choose to Rename, Delete, or Move the subfolder under another shared folder of your own.
