MXTHE EXCHANGE IN CONTEXT
Give the handoff some context.
A document release can involve several external contacts with different responsibilities. Define the audience and the approved version before distributing the package.
MX provides a route for sensitive business files between named recipients. Match access conditions to the purpose of the exchange and use the available activity record to support follow-up. Keep the underlying approval and information-handling decisions in your own process.
WHERE THE WORKFLOW HELPS

A HANDOFF, IN PRACTICE
The right files.
The full context.
A business needs to distribute the same approved issue to several partner contacts. Confirm the audience before the release and check whether recipients must be separated from one another. Test the proposed permissions and visibility with representative accounts before using the workflow for sensitive information.

A USEFUL RESULT
The intended recipients receive the correct issue and the tested visibility matches the release requirements.
MAKE THE FIRST EXCHANGE COUNT
Test the details.
Then repeat with confidence.
Use the example package as a starting point for a small, representative trial. Agree the success criteria with the person who will actually receive the files.
Check completeness
Approved release documents should be easy to identify in the inventory. Open the delivery copy independently of your working folder to catch missing files or local dependencies.
Walk through access
Test with the intended recipient role and receiving environment. Confirm the access conditions, the instructions and the route for getting help.
Agree what success means
The intended recipients receive the correct issue and the tested visibility matches the release requirements. Record any remaining questions before making the exchange part of routine work.
FROM PREPARATION TO RECEIPT
Give each exchange
a clear sequence.
Use Partner-Release-Documents.zip as an example of a defined package. Replace it with the approved files and instructions for your actual task.

Confirm the purpose and recipient
Check who is entitled to receive the information. Record the business purpose through your normal approval process before assembling the package.
- 02
Prepare an approved package
Choose the required files, check their versions and remove unrelated information. Include concise instructions so the recipient knows what to do next.
- 03
Apply the access conditions
Confirm authentication, availability and any download conditions for your service. MX's existing features include named access, MFA and configurable expiry controls.
- 04
Review the exchange
Check the recorded activity and follow up through the agreed process. Keep the exchange reference with the project or client record it supports.
DEFINE THE BOUNDARY
Check the fit
before the first file.
Validate group handling, recipient separation and activity visibility for your proposed workflow. A distribution list needs maintenance when people change roles.
Assess the controls against a representative package and recipient. Confirm any mandatory capability, contract term or deployment requirement with the MX team before relying on it.

What to know
before you begin.
Questions about secure document distribution and the exchange workflow.
How should changes to the audience be managed?+
Keep ownership of the recipient list explicit. Review role changes and departures before subsequent releases, and validate any group-management or recipient-separation behaviour required for the chosen service.
Can every recipient see everyone else's information?+
Confirm the permission model and recipient visibility in a trial. Avoid assuming group distribution provides a particular separation or privacy behaviour.
How should we prepare the files?+
Deliver agreed documents to the relevant partner contacts. Check the approved version, any required dependencies and the recipient's ability to use the package. Include only the material needed for the purpose.
What should we verify during a trial?+
Test a representative exchange from sender preparation to recipient access. Check authentication, permissions, expiry behaviour and the activity available afterwards. Include the actual file types and recipient environment you expect to use.
Does an access expiry remove downloaded copies?+
Do not assume expiry deletes a recipient's local copy. Agree post-download handling and retention responsibilities, and confirm the precise behaviour of the service configuration you plan to use.
Where can we check product details and commercial terms?+
Use the current MX product information and confirm the proposed service with the team. Review the plans and pricing alongside your actual users, workflow and deployment requirements.
