Which statement best describes sharing a document via a public link?

• A. The link can be publicly used by anyone who has it.
• B. It requires recipients to sign in with an account.
• C. External sharing is not possible with a public link.
• D. Public links cannot be revoked.

Answer: (B)

Public links open access to external parties through a URL, but actions taken on the document are still tied to user authentication in DocuSign CLM. Requiring recipients to sign in with an account ensures identity is verified, permissions are enforced, and an audit trail is maintained, even when the link itself is publicly distributed. This makes it the most accurate description of how public link sharing works in practice. The other statements either imply no login is needed, deny external sharing, or claim the link cannot be revoked, which don’t align with how access and control are managed.
