2. If you have not yet uploaded your file to a drive or Kami Cloud, you will be prompted to upload it at this stage. Choose from Google Drive, OneDrive, or Kami Cloud. Each of these has different sharing options. Learn more about each below:

To update this, simply select the Share button to reopen the sharing options window. To revoke the file from your collaborators, you can select the Remove upload option at the bottom of the window. Afterward, you can reshare with the desired settings.
If Feature Control is being used, any changes made to these settings will automatically sync to the collaborators.
