Sharing Content Internally
A user can share content internally using the Share By Email feature. A user has two ways to share content with other Enablix users using email.
- Send email from application mailbox
- Send email from user mailbox
Sending from Application Mailbox
Enablix supports a generic application mailbox. Customers have an option to configure the branding of the email that is sent from this application mailbox. For more details on email branding, please refer to the Email Branding article. To send email using application mailbox,

- You can add multiple users in the To field.
Sending from User Mailbox
Similar to sharing content externally, you can also share assets internally using your email address. The steps are similar to sharing content externally. Except you enter email addresses of Enablix users in the To field. You can also mix internal and external users when sending email from your user mailbox.
Sharing Confidential Content
Enablix is used to manage internal and external facing content. To manage internal facing content, Enablix supports different ways to restrict access to the content asset.
- When defining a content type, administrators can turn off external sharing of the content asset.
- The access value of a content asset is Internal & Confidential.
- An administrator disables the default link of an asset.
When an asset is restricted by any of the above methods, users cannot share that asset with external users.
