Manage shared files

By Cynthia, 6 December, 2025

Both document owners and the reviewers may be involved with multiple reviews during daily document workflows. Foxit PDF Editor’s Share feature provides an easy way for document collaboration, but it also enables document owners and reviewers to manage shared files in an organized way and track the review status with notifications.

To manage the shared files, do the following:

  1. Click Share > Shared Files (or click Cloud Documents > Shared Files in the left part of the Start page).
  2. On the Shared Files page, all files you shared and shared by others are listed in the Shared by me tab and the Shared by others tab, respectively.
  3. In the file list, you can view detailed information about the shared file, such as reviewers, review status, and more. You can also search for a shared file if you are handling multiple document reviews. Perform operations like viewing review activities, ending the share, and leaving the review as needed. 

You (both document owners and the reviewers) get notified when others perform actions on the shared documents. You receive messages about review activities and can view the messages in the notifications box that appears after you click the Notification icon (a bell icon) on Title Bar of Foxit PDF Editor. A red dot appears on the Notification icon if you have any pending messages. You can quickly mark all notifications in the box as read by clicking the horizontal three-dot icon in the upper-right corner of the box and selecting Mark all as read from the drop-down menu. To delete all notifications, choose Delete all from the menu.
