Send a copy

Use the 
Send a copy
 action to create a new instance of a 
BlackBerry Workspaces
 file and send it to another user. Recipients receive a link to the file and it appears in the 
Received files
 area. Senders manage the file in the 
Sent files
 area.
For files you have already shared, use 
Send a copy
 to send another new instance of the file. This is useful when you want to collaborate on a file independently of the original file recipients. For more information, see Collaboration. 
To share the same instance of a sent copy with new recipients, add the new recipients to the existing file in your
