  • See and download documents and the versions of these documents, in folders you have access to.

As a Contributor, you can:

  • Invite participants (as guests or contributors) and give them access to the folders to which you also have access.

  • See documents and the versions of these documents, in folders you have access to, and download documents.

  • Add versions to documents you have uploaded.
