What happens to my previously shared documents when I change my Collaborate settings from OneDrive?

Note: This article is only relevant to users upgrading from Legacy Collaborate using OneDrive.

When upgrading from Legacy Collaborate using OneDrive to New Collaborate your existing links to OneDrive will still function temporarily. This means that your clients will still have access to files shared via OneDrive until you send them their new link.

Once you have configured New Collaborate, you will need to re-share your documents with your clients. This will re-upload the files to your new Collaborate Site and send new links to your clients to use. When you share the new link, your client will no longer have access to the legacy OneDrive folder.

There is no automatic process to transfer your documents from OneDrive to New Collaborate on SharePoint. During the upgrade to New Collaborate, clients will be automatically removed from Sharing Settings if documents in Client Co-Edit are no longer in edit mode. If there are still documents in Client Co-Edit mode,  you will need to remove clients manually from Sharing Settings. 

Once the upgrade is complete, you will then need to re-add your clients from the Sharing Settings, and manually re-share documents.

Once you have connected New Collaborate:

• The Upload folder will no longer work on OneDrive. By re-adding your clients to the Sharing Settings, your clients will be sent links to the new Upload folder.
• You will need to re-share documents to upload files to the New Collaborate site. This will ensure the client can access everything they need in one location - your New Collaborate site.
