I need to send a single link to the updated [document=lease PDF] to the [recipient=tenant] and the [agent] by [deadline=Monday noon]. Ensure the link opens the latest PDF, set it to view-only, and add a brief note that the link expires in [expiry=10 days].

The tenant tends to forward documents internally and the agent will want to download for their records. Create a link that’s easy to open on mobile, shows the file version and date prominently, and includes a short cover note reminding them this is the latest [lease] and asking for any questions by [deadline=Wednesday]. Make clear whether they can download or only view.

when the reply comes backPush once: ask it to sharpen the weakest part, and to say what it assumed.

CDecide — “help me choose”I updated the [lease] with a new liability clause and the tenant asked for the PDF link. I need…+

I updated the [lease] with a new liability clause and the tenant asked for the PDF link. I need to avoid uncontrolled distribution but also don’t want to block the agent who needs a copy for due diligence. Diagnose the trade-offs of view-only versus downloadable link, recommend which to use for this situation, and draft a short message to the tenant and [agent] explaining the access level and deadline for questions so there’s no confusion.

when the reply comes backPush once: ask it to sharpen the weakest part, and to say what it assumed.
