1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,587
An old OneDrive sharing link should stop working, but the file must stay.

2
00:00:04,587 --> 00:00:08,400
In a fictional practice account, we will locate one exact link

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,173
in Manage access and remove that link only.

4
00:00:11,173 --> 00:00:14,986
The result is a missing link entry with the file intact.

5
00:00:14,986 --> 00:00:18,799
We will also check whether another link, a direct person grant

6
00:00:18,799 --> 00:00:21,573
or a shared parent folder still provides access.

7
00:00:22,173 --> 00:00:25,796
Use only the fictional agenda in a private OneDrive practice area.

8
00:00:25,796 --> 00:00:29,419
Record which link you intend to retire; a file can have

9
00:00:29,419 --> 00:00:33,372
more than one link and may also be shared directly with people.

10
00:00:33,372 --> 00:00:36,996
Do not guess based on file name alone and do not

11
00:00:36,996 --> 00:00:38,313
post the link publicly.

12
00:00:38,913 --> 00:00:41,843
Select just the agenda file in OneDrive.

13
00:00:41,843 --> 00:00:45,192
Open its Details pane and choose Manage access.

14
00:00:45,192 --> 00:00:51,052
Microsoft's current instructions show the file's people and links in this area.

15
00:00:51,052 --> 00:00:55,238
Confirm the selected file name before changing anything, especially if

16
00:00:55,238 --> 00:00:57,331
adjacent files have similar titles.

17
00:00:57,931 --> 00:01:01,896
Find the saved Review copy link entry, choose its remove control,

18
00:01:01,896 --> 00:01:05,139
and confirm removal only for this fictional demo link.

19
00:01:05,139 --> 00:01:09,464
This action invalidates that link; it does not delete the agenda file.

20
00:01:09,464 --> 00:01:13,428
If several entries appear, do not remove them as a group

21
00:01:13,428 --> 00:01:15,590
just because they share a file.

22
00:01:16,190 --> 00:01:18,645
Review the remaining Manage access entries.

23
00:01:18,645 --> 00:01:23,146
A person may have direct access, or a parent folder or

24
00:01:23,146 --> 00:01:25,602
shared workspace may grant access independently.

25
00:01:25,602 --> 00:01:29,285
Removing a link does not automatically cancel those grants.

26
00:01:29,285 --> 00:01:33,786
State exactly which route was removed instead of saying the file

27
00:01:33,786 --> 00:01:35,423
is now completely private.

28
00:01:36,023 --> 00:01:40,100
If you have a permitted signed-out test context, open the exact

29
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:43,499
old URL there and verify it no longer grants access.

30
00:01:43,499 --> 00:01:47,236
An owner remaining able to open the file is not evidence

31
00:01:47,236 --> 00:01:50,974
that a retired link still works, because the owner has a

32
00:01:50,974 --> 00:01:52,673
separate right to the file.

33
00:01:52,673 --> 00:01:55,392
Keep any tested link out of public screenshots.

34
00:01:55,992 --> 00:01:59,567
Compare your own practice copy with the answer check.

35
00:01:59,567 --> 00:02:03,936
The specific Review copy link no longer appears in Manage access

36
00:02:03,936 --> 00:02:07,908
after removal, while the fictional agenda file itself remains present.

37
00:02:07,908 --> 00:02:12,277
If an unauthorized test is available, the exact old URL no

38
00:02:12,277 --> 00:02:14,263
longer opens through that link.

39
00:02:14,263 --> 00:02:18,632
Any direct grant or parent-folder permission must be checked separately;

40
00:02:18,632 --> 00:02:22,603
removing the link alone does not prove all access ended.

41
00:02:22,603 --> 00:02:26,972
If the result differs, revisit the source data and the specific

42
00:02:26,972 --> 00:02:29,356
step rather than hiding the symptom.

43
00:02:29,356 --> 00:02:33,725
