How to Block Workspaces from Sharing Link Scanning

Last updated: March 30, 2026

If your tenant has workspaces with sensitive and/or confidential information that should not be seen by anyone outside of the group, including Orchestry admins - you can disable content scanning for the workspace.

Considerations of Disabling Content Scanning on a Workspace

Should you block a workspace from being scanned, the following features will no longer function:

  • Workspace Details - Sharing Links tab

  • Workspace Details - Broken Inheritance tab

  • Workspace Reviews - Sharing Link Review

  • Teams Information Tab/ Workspace Information Web Part - Sharing Links tab

How to Disable Content Scanning for a Workspace

  1. Open the 'Workspace Details' page for the workspace

  2. Open the 'Sharing Links' tab

  3. Click the ACTIONS button

  4. Select 'Disable Sharing Scanning'

NOTE: Any links shown from previous scans will be removed from Orchestry when the Content app runs again. 

How to Re-Enable Content Scanning for a Workspace

Should circumstances change, you can always re-enable content scanning.  From the 'Sharing Links' tab, click the 'Enable Sharing Scanning' button.

NOTE: Links will not be re-populated until the next overnight scan of the Content app.  It may take longer if the Content app has a lot of workspaces to scan.

TIP: When a workspace is in queue to be scanned, click the 'Prioritize Workspace for Scanning' button to ensure it's near the top of the list for the Content app's next scan.
