Please note that should your workspace be accessible by external parties or ‘non-friendly parties’, folder permissions that apply to the documents area do not apply to bundles. Any document added to a bundle will be viewable to all users within this workspace. To ensure your Bundle's security, we recommend you build it in an internal/team workspace and then publish it in a customer workspace for review.
