What recipients see

A ReadiLink opens a recipient view of the package the company shared, without requiring a Vanward account. Learn how to read its documents, score, and marks.

Steps

  1. Open the ReadiLink address supplied by the company.
  2. For a readiness package, read the company's readiness score and the list of shared documents. The score describes company readiness at its stage; it is not a score for just the files in this package.
  3. Open a shared document and read its status, verification state, and source labels. When watermarking is enabled, PDFs and images carry the recipient label and time.
  4. Use the download controls if the company allowed downloads. A package download is available where the shared package and its settings allow it.
  5. If the company enabled requests, use the document-request form to ask for something else you need.

Close packages

A close ReadiLink shows one period, its steps, preparers, reviewers, tie-out figures, and attached documents. It does not show a readiness score or other close periods. A full close package download requires the company to enable that option as well as downloads.

Questions and answers

Can I see documents the company did not include?
No. The recipient view shows shared documents, not the company's dashboard, private notes, or hidden files. Readiness packages may show aggregate scores without exposing unshared documents.
Why does the link say it is not available?
The company may have withdrawn access or let the link expire. Ask the company that shared it for a new link.
