One action, immediate effect, and a timestamped record that access ended.

The situation

Revoking access is straightforward when the document is served through a controlled link rather than handed over as a copy.

In FINIS, every send keeps a control page. Revoking from that page ends access for that recipient immediately, and the change is written to the document's history.

What to do

1. Open the send

Each document has its own page showing recipients and status.

2. Revoke

For one recipient or for everyone.

3. Confirm

The history shows the exact time access ended.

The FINIS capabilities involved

Revoke

One click removes the document from everyone who has the link — instantly, permanently, and on the record.

Control

Recipients, devices, lifetime, watermarking and access — all decided by the sender, all changeable afterwards.

Destroy

Not 'access revoked'. The file is erased, and the destruction is on the record.

Questions

Is revoking reversible?

You can issue new access if you change your mind — the original link stays closed.

Does it work per recipient?

Yes, each recipient has their own link.
