**Confidential documents** are documents that can only be viewed and managed by people related to the document or those with confidential document administrator rights, to prevent the files from being viewed unintentionally by other members.

Normally the document administrator is able to view and manage all the documents of members within their own team.However, confidential documents can only be viewed and managed by the sender, recipient and members in each team with “[confidential document administrator rights](https://help.cloudsign.jp/en/articles/4631058?hsLang=en).”

#### **Precautions**

- The “Confidential function” for sending confidential documents is available with the Business Plan.
- Receiving, viewing and managing confidential documents is possible with plans other than the Business Plan.
