Why don't I see the "Externally" share option on my quote? | The Externally sharing option becomes available only after the quote has reached an APPROVED or SENT status. If your quote is still in draft or pending approvals, this option will not appear. |
Can I control when external sharing becomes available? | This is currently tied to the quote status. Once the quote is formally approved or sent to the customer, MonetizeNow enables the secure external sharing option by default, no manual toggle required. |
Where do I find the share settings? | Click the Share button at the top right of the quote screen. You'll see options for: Internal Access (within your org) & External Access (viewable by customers once enabled) |
What does the expiration date do in external sharing? | You can set an expiration date for the external quote link. After that date, external users will no longer be able to access the shared quote. This adds a layer of security and urgency. |
Why would this be status-gated? | To prevent premature sharing of incomplete or unapproved quotes. This ensures only finalized, customer-ready quotes are externally accessible. |
