Sharing

When sharing from PDM to a project using Share access, the current iteration of some object types is added to the project baseline. (The project baseline is not visible in the project and is not accessible to users.) Whether the iteration is added to the baseline affects its Update action behavior. For more information, see Synchronizing Shared Objects.

Adding shared objects to the project baseline also allows CAD applications to interact with shared objects.

Object Type	Allows PDM to Project Sharing	Recorded in Project Baseline
Parts	Yes	Yes
Documents	Yes	No
Requirements Management Objects	Yes	Yes
CAD Documents	Yes	Yes
Dynamic Documents	Yes	Yes
Notes	Yes	Yes
Variant Specifications	Yes	No
Change Management Objects	Yes	No
Folders Promotion Requests Product Configurations Product Instances Tasks (including action items and deliverables) Baselines Plan Activities Links Packages Managed Collections Meetings	No	- -

Actions and objects that can be shared using the Add to Project action can also be shared using the Send to PDM action.

Sharing

When sharing from a project to another project, you can modify the access control settings for some object types. For example, you can extend modify access for shared documents. For more information, see Sharing from Project to Project.

User Permissions

When exchanging objects between contexts, you must have the necessary permissions across both contexts to perform certain actions. For more information, see Permissions.
