# OneDrive view-only practice checklist

This is a rehearsal. Use only a disposable fictional file and an authorized recipient if you decide to create a real share.

- [ ] Confirm the exact file and its existing Manage access entries.
- [ ] Open Share and review Link settings before copying or sending anything.
- [ ] Set audience to **Specific people**.
- [ ] Set permission to **Can view** or turn editing off.
- [ ] Confirm an **Anyone** link is not being created for this share.
- [ ] Enter only the address of the authorized reviewer and check its spelling.
- [ ] For a dry run, stop before **Send** or **Copy link**.
- [ ] After any authorized share, inspect **Manage access** and any prior grants.
- [ ] Ask the intended reviewer to confirm access and inability to edit if the outcome matters.

View-only may still allow downloads. A link dialog setting is not a recipient access test.
