How do you share only part of a document?
NakodaX Selective Share lets you send only the slides, pages, sheets or sections someone should see. The recipient gets a real file of the same type with the rest removed, so the rest never reaches them. You keep one master file and send a different slice to each person.
Most tools protect a whole file. NakodaX can send just the part someone should see.
On this page
An investor asks for your traction numbers. You send the whole deck, because that is how decks work.
Now they also have your cap table, your burn and your hiring plan. And their associate may upload the deck to AI for a one page summary. You wanted to share three slides.
Why is sharing usually all or nothing?
Every tool treats a file as one thing. To share a part, you copy the file, delete pages, hide sheets, save a new version and send that. Then you repeat it for the next person and try to remember which version went where. Most people skip this and send the whole file.
What happens to the slice after you send it?
It opens in a browser through NakodaX, under the access you set. You can add an expiry date or an open limit, and the reader's name and the time are shown as a watermark, which deters sharing.
When the round closes or the talks end, you revoke and the slice stops opening. The protected file holds no readable text, so there is nothing for an AI tool to take. If you want a recipient to download a plain copy, you can allow it. That choice is yours.
Where is this useful?
Investor decks: traction for one firm, financials for another. Proposals: one master, a different slice for each prospect. Contracts: each party sees its own section. Publishing: three chapters, not the book.
The takeaway
Send three slides, not the deck. Keep the rest with you, and end access when the talks end.

Can I send different parts of one file to different people?
Yes. Keep one master and pick a selection for each send. You can save selections to reuse them.
Which file types does Selective Share support?
PowerPoint and ODP slides, Word and ODT sections, Excel and ODS sheets, columns and rows, and regions of PDFs and images.
Does the recipient get the parts I left out?
No. They are removed from the file that is sent, so they are not hidden inside it.
