Files can be shared or unshared with users or contact labels. Files can be shared with users when the file is uploaded to CentralReach, or after the file is uploaded. The following rules apply to file sharing, which are designed to protect files in CentralReach:

1. Files can be shared directly with contacts connected to the user who owns the file
2. Files can also be shared with contact labels. If contact label contacts are not connected to the owner of the file, they can view the shared file, but cannot access the file owner account information
3. Uploaded files are not automatically shared with the contact identified as the owner of the file
4. When a medical record file is shared with a contact or contact label, the file cannot be unshared with the contact
5. To share files classified as medical records, you must acknowledge you have permission to share the file before sharing it

2. Click the file you want to share/unshare
3. To share the file:
   • Click the Share tab on top of the File Details screen

   • If you are sharing a file classified as a medical record, click the checkbox  I have all necessary consent permissions to share this Medical Record to confirm you have the file owner’s approval to share the file
     • Once a medical record file is shared with a contact, it cannot be unshared
   • Click Share File
   • If you are sharing a non-medical record file with the owner of the file, click Share File with Owner
4. To unshare a file:
   • Click the trash can icon next to the contact name under the Currently shared with: list of contacts
   • The trash can icon will not be available to unshare medical record files, as medical records cannot be unshared
