# Package Recipients Panel

February 17, 2026

The **Package Recipients Panel** provides a detailed, interactive view of everyone who has received a package you are viewing in CORE. It supports powerful search and filtering, shows recipient-level permissions and activity, and makes it faster to manage access for large or complex recipient lists.

## **Why use the Recipients Panel?**

The Recipients Panel now solves the key workflows that package senders and managers perform most often:

- **Quickly find a specific recipient and see their current permissions and activity**
- **Understand how a package was shared with each individual**
- **Identify who can download, modify, comment, or forward content**
- **Bulk manage recipients, including removing access when needed**
- **Refine the list using search and filters by settings such as package type, permissions, restrictions, and download options**

These improvements make the Recipients Panel more usable and informative than earlier versions that listed only basic metadata. The redesign turns it into a true management view.

## **Opening the Recipients Panel**

To open the Recipients Panel:

1. Navigate to a package in the **Package Viewer**.
2. Select the **Recipients icon**.
3. The panel will slide out, showing a list of all recipients with details.

## **What you’ll see**

**Basic recipient card**

**Sender card** - Senders cannot be deleted from a package

**Expanded recipient card**

### **User identity**
- Name and email address (including multiple email visibility on hover where applicable)
- Guest users display with their email and a “Guest User” designation
- Users Added via Email who haven’t yet accepted their Core invite will appear with their email and an “Added via Email” designation

### **Package activity and timing**
- **First viewed:** The date/time the user first accessed the package (if viewed)
- **Last viewed:** The date/time the user last accessed the package (if viewed)
- **Start and End dates:** The time window the recipient has access (if applied)

### **Permissions and settings**
These are shown only if selected on the share and clearly organized:
- **Download permissions** (and download options like quality or watermarks)
- **Forward**(package)
- **Modify**(package contents and order)
- **Commenting disabled**(commenting is on by default)
- **Hide users** (controls whether recipients see each other)
- **Limit downloads** (counts if set)

### **Package type**
Shows the type of package (e.g., Standard share, Approval, Autoplay, Download) that is active for that recipient.

## **Search and filters**
At the top of the panel is a **search bar** that lets you type to filter recipients by name or email instantly. As you type, the list refines in real time to match your search.

Below the search bar are **filter options** allowing you to narrow recipients by:
- Package type
- Permissions (e.g., can forward, can download)
- Restrictions (e.g., no comments, hide users)
- Download settings (e.g., specific quality or watermark choices)

Filters can be combined with search to find exactly the set of recipients you’re interested in.

## **Viewing and reviewing permissions**
Each user card can be **expanded** to show all selected package settings for that recipient. This helps answer questions such as:
- “Did this person get download access?”
- “What watermark level is applied for them?”
- “Can they forward this package?”
- “When did they last view the content?”

If a field or permission was not selected when the package was shared, it will not appear in the expanded view—reducing clutter and focusing attention only on what matters.

## **Managing recipients**
The Recipients Panel supports recipient management tasks directly:
- **Select one or more recipients using the checkboxes** beside each card.
- When one or more users are selected:
   - A counter shows how many are chosen.
   - **Select All** and **Clear selection** controls help manage selections.
   - A **Remove User(s)** action lets you revoke access for all selected recipients at once.
   
## **How this works with Shared With**
The Recipients Panel works closely with the **Shared With** area in the package header:
- **View All** in Shared With opens the Recipients Panel with all recipients listed.
- If you search for a user in Shared With and select **View All**, the Recipients Panel opens with the same search applied.
- If you open the **Recipient Preview** for one user in Shared With and choose to view details, the Recipients Panel opens with that user at the top and expands.

This coordination ensures consistent workflows whether you start from a quick glance in Shared With or jump directly into detailed management.

## **Tips for using the Recipients Panel**
- **Search first** when you know a name or email—it’s often faster than scrolling.
- **Combine search + filters** to find recipients with specific access rights (e.g., all users with download enabled).
- **Expand only the cards you need** to keep the view focused, especially with long lists.

**Use bulk removal carefully** and confirm selections before taking action.

## **Step-by-step examples: Using the Recipients Panel**

### **Example 1: Find a specific recipient and review their permissions**
**Use this when:** You want to understand **how a package was shared with one person**, what permissions they received, and whether they’ve viewed it.  
**Steps**
1. Open the package you want to review.
2. Select the **Recipients icon** to open the **Recipients Panel**.
3. In the **Search bar**, start typing the recipient’s name or email.
4. Locate the recipient in the list and **expand their card**.
5. Review the recipient’s details, including:
   - Package type
   - Selected permissions (only those that apply)
   - Restrictions and download settings
   - **First viewed** and **Last viewed** activity (if applicable)
**Result**
You can clearly see:
- Whether the user has viewed the package
- When they last viewed it
- Exactly what access and restrictions they received

### **Example 2: Identify recipients based on access rules using filters**
**Use this when:** You need to find **everyone who matches a specific condition**, such as users who can download, users with restricted access, or users on a specific package type.  
**Steps**
1. Open the **Recipients Panel** from the package.
2. Select **Filters** at the top of the panel.
3. Choose one or more filter options, such as:
   - Package type
   - Permissions (e.g., forwarding, modify)
   - Restrictions (e.g., no comments, hide users)
   - Download settings or download options
4. (Optional) Combine filters with the **Search bar** to narrow results further.
5. Review the refined list of recipients that match your criteria.
**Result**
Only recipients who match the selected settings appear, making it easy to:
- Audit access
- Validate sharing rules
- Prepare for bulk actions

### **Example 3: Remove one or more recipients from a package**
**Use this when:** You need to revoke access for one person or multiple recipients at once.  
**Steps**
1. Open the **Recipients Panel**.
2. Use **Search** or **Filters** to locate the recipient(s).
3. Select the checkbox next to one or more recipients.
4. Review the selection counter at the top or bottom of the panel.
5. Select **Remove User(s)**.
6. Confirm the action if prompted.
**Result**
The selected recipients no longer have access to the package.

### **Example 4: Jump from Shared With to full recipient details**
**Use this when:** You start with a quick check in **Shared With** and need full details for one person.  
**Steps**
1. In the package header, locate the **Shared With** section.
2. Hover over (or tap) a recipient to open the **Recipient Preview**.
3. Review key details such as package type and last viewed.
4. Select **View user settings**.
5. The **Recipients Panel** opens with:
   - The selected recipient at the top
   - Their card expanded to show full settings
 **Result**
You move seamlessly from a quick at-a-glance check to the complete permission and activity view for that recipient.

## **Best practices**
- Start with **Shared With** for quick status checks, then move to the **Recipients Panel** for full detail.
- Use **Search first** when you know who you’re looking for.
- Combine **Search + Filters** to handle large recipient lists efficiently.
- Expand only the recipient cards you need to keep the panel easy to scan.

Double-check selections before removing users, especially when using **Select All**.
