Why teams use Revoke Access
Instant revocation
One click and the link stops working. The viewer sees an access denied page immediately — no delay, no grace period.
Revoke per-link or per-room
Disable individual links or shut down an entire data room at once. You control the granularity of access revocation.
Reactivate anytime
Changed your mind? Turn the link back on just as easily. All previous analytics and viewer data are preserved.
"Peony is by far the simplest and most intuitive way to populate and share data rooms with investors and partners. All the key analytics and features integrated into a sleek interface!"

Frequently asked questions
How does revoking access work in Peony?
Peony lets you disable any shared document link with a single click from your dashboard. The moment you revoke access, the viewer sees an access-denied page. There is no delay or grace period. You can revoke individual links or shut down an entire data room at once.
Can I reactivate a revoked link?
Yes. Peony allows you to reactivate any previously revoked link just as easily as you disabled it. All analytics, viewer data, and access logs from before the revocation are preserved, so you do not lose any tracking history when toggling access on and off.
What is the difference between revoking access and link expiry?
Peony's revoke access feature lets you manually disable a link at any time, while link expiry automatically disables it after a set date, time period, or view count. Both features can be used together. For example, you might set a link to expire in 30 days but revoke it earlier if a deal falls through.
Can I revoke access for a specific viewer without affecting others?
Yes. Peony's personalised links feature gives each recipient their own unique link. You can revoke one person's access without affecting anyone else who has a different link to the same document or data room. For an additional layer of control, Peony's controlled redaction lets you permanently black out sensitive figures or PII before sharing, so even active viewers only see what you intend. This is essential for managing multi-party due diligence where each investor has separate access.
Is revoke access available on the free plan?
Yes. Peony includes full revoke-access controls on every plan, including the Free tier ($0, 2 GB storage), with no per-viewer, per-page, or per-link limits so costs stay predictable regardless of deal size. The Pro plan ($20/admin/month, 200 GB) and Business plan ($40/admin/month, 1 TB) add team collaboration and additional storage, but core access controls are available at no cost.
How does Peony's revoke access compare to DocSend or legacy data rooms?
Unlike DocSend, which only offers link-level disabling, Peony lets you revoke access at the individual link level, per-viewer level, or across an entire data room — all protected by AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit on SOC 2-ready infrastructure. Peony is GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA compliant. Legacy providers like Ideals and Firmex often require contacting support or navigating complex admin panels. Peony makes it a one-click action from the dashboard.
Does revoking a link delete the document?
No. Revoking access in Peony only disables the shared link. The underlying document remains safely stored in your data room and is still accessible to your team. You can create a new link to the same document at any time, with fresh analytics tracking and new access controls.
