Document statuses

Every document in Hippoly has a status that controls who can see it and who can make changes. Understanding the three statuses makes it easier to work with drafts, shared documents, and signed documents.

Draft

A Draft is only visible to the person who created it and to the collaborators they've invited. Drafts are the right place to prepare a document before the rest of the workspace sees it.

  • Only the creator and invited collaborators have access to a draft.

  • Collaborators can edit, share and invite additional collaborators to the draft.

  • Drafts don't appear for users who are not invited as collaborators.

When you're ready to let everyone in the workspace see the document, you share it and it becomes Shared.

Shared

A Shared document is visible to everyone in the workspace. Anyone in the workspace can open the document and read it, but also make changes to it. To make changes you first start a new version, which creates a working copy visible only to you and your collaborators until you share the changes with everyone.

Signed

When a document has been e-signed, its status becomes Signed. Signed documents are read-only PDFs and no one can edit them, not even the original author. However, anyone in the workspace with access to the document can create a new editable copy from the PDF.
