Share. Click to open a panel listing apps that can hand off the
selected item. For example, if you’ve selected a file, the choices
might include Mail (to send it as an attachment) or Dropbox (to put
a copy in your Dropbox). This Share panel is a standard Windows
10 element, and it appears in many apps.
Email. Click to open a new outgoing email message with the
selected file(s) attached, ready to address and send.
Zip. Compresses the selected file(s) into one compact, self-
contained .zip file. Great for sending a batch of related files to
somebody in a way that contains all the necessary pieces.
Burn to disc. Prompts you to insert a blank CD or DVD; Windows
will burn a copy of the selected file(s) onto that disc. (If you don’t
have a disc burner, then this icon is dimmed.)
Print. Opens the document and, depending on what kind of file it
is, prepares it for printing.
Fax. Sends the selected file(s) to your fax modem, if you have one.
Specific people. Makes the selected file(s) available for accessing
over the network by people you specify. (Chapter 19 has details.)
When you click here, a window opens up with a list of people on
the network, so you can choose the lucky collaborators.
Remove access. Turns off network sharing so that, once again,
you’re the only person who can see the selected file(s).
Advanced security. This control, too, affects file sharing on the
network. It gives you much finer control over who’s allowed to do
what to the selected file: See it? Open it? Change it? Chapter 19
contains more on these file permissions.
