In many implementations—especially for owners and projects operating in controlled or audited environments—there is a need to allow users to view documents and create/publish markups, while still restricting the ability to download files.
Currently, “Publish Markup” is tied to download permissions. This creates governance challenges for organizations with strict data control policies, as it increases the risk of unintended file distribution.
This scenario is common when multiple external stakeholders are involved in document reviews, but ownership and distribution of source files must remain tightly controlled.
Proposed Improvement:
Enable a separate permission setting that allows users to publish markups without requiring download access.
Why this matters:
- Supports stricter data governance and compliance requirements
- Enables secure collaboration with external stakeholders
- Aligns with real-world deployment needs in controlled environments
