Who can see your preview
Only the browser in which you started the preview can open it. If someone else opens the link, they see a note that the preview can only be opened in the browser in which it was created. In the viewer, Preview – only you see it · … left shows how much time remains.
The preview belongs to your current browser session: if you close the browser, you may not be able to open it again. When the time is up, the preview, its PDF and its content are deleted completely.
