    Hi bevey1,

    Yes, when you unshare a file, it will no longer be accessible--even to those you've shared it with.

    Hey marionv43967190 

    As shared in the correct answer given above. If file has been unshared and you haven't downloaded the file or saved it locally on your system then it wont be possible to edit it.

    Hope this answers your query.

    Regards,

    Akanchha

    Can I share again a file that is in unshared status? or can I undo "unshare"? If not what can I do to send the file to someone again for viewing if I'm interested in them seeing all the comments done to it when it was still accessible as shared?

    I tried downloading and uploading again, but it uploads to the cloud without its comments

    what if they've downloaded the file? will they still be able to use their downloaded version?

    Hi mckane23,

    Once the recipient has downloaded the file to their computer, removing it from Acrobat.com will not affect their access to that file.

    Best,
