Article Summary


This article will demonstrate how the end user will open an Anchor shared link sent from the OneDrive web client. 


When an Anchored file/folder has been shared, the user will receive an email notification stating Anchored content has been shared with them.

Step 1: To consume the content, the user will select Open file.

Step 2: A new window will open in the browser and the user will enter their email address.

Step 3: A "one-time-passcode" will be sent to the email address entered in the previous step. The user will enter the 6-digit passcode and select Login.

Please note, the verification code will only be valid for 15 minutes. If the code has already expired, restart the process by selecting "Open File" in the original email, enter your email address, and a new one-time-passcode will be sent to your email.

Step 4: Select Open and the shared Anchored content will be opened in a new window on the browser.

Please note: Once the user has been authenticated, the token duration is 3 hours. After 3 hours the user will need to reauthenticate themselves.
