FAQ's:

 

Q: I downloaded different documents when I clicked on the Doc Ref URL at different times.

A: The Doc Ref URL downloads the latest revision that is externally accessible. E.g. if you have allowed external access to 2nd revision out of the 3 revisions published for a Doc Ref, a click on Doc Ref will fetch you the 2nd revision till the 3rd revision is not externally accessible. Once you allow external access to the 3rd revision, the click on Doc Ref will fetch the 3rd revision for the document. Click / Distribute the URL for individual revision if you want to download a particular revision.
