Downloading Files
You can download files from two places in the Collaboration Hub:
- Documents page — Download any file you have access to from the full archive.
- Published Outputs page — Download approved, published documents.
Download Requirements
- Public documents are downloadable without signing in.
- Internal and private documents require an active signed-in account.
- Internal documents are available to authenticated users.
- Private documents are available to the uploader, administrators, and members of the canonical upload organization or an eligible shared project organization.
