View Limits and Expiration: Simple Controls That Prevent Oversharing
Most leaks aren’t “hacks”—they’re links that live too long and spread too far. Limits and expiration shrink that window.
How the control works
- You set a maximum number of opens (or a time window)
- The link works until the rule is reached
- After that, access stops automatically
When it’s especially useful
- One-time proposals
- Temporary access to manuals or onboarding docs
- Sharing drafts that change frequently
A practical baseline policy
| Document type | Expiration | View limit |
|---|---|---|
| Proposal / quote | 7–14 days | 10–30 |
| Draft contract | 3–7 days | 5–15 |
| Training material | 30–60 days | unlimited or high |
Tip
Combine limits with verification if you want “each view to be accountable,” not just counted.
