Overview

Before you can use the Outlook plug-in, you must install it. For more information, see Installing the Outlook Plug-in.

For tax and accounting plans, you must have granted access to the vault, folder, or file before the recipients to which you send these links can view the location in your SmartVault account. For more information about sharing vaults or folders, see Sharing SmartVault Folders. 

For business plans, including Reckon Business and Partners Plans, you can invite clients right from the plug-in.
