I stumbled into a what may be a cool workflow and I would appreciate someone pointing out some of the pitfalls.
We are developing a product that needs feedback from several functional areas outside engineering. I have placed anonymous links into a channel inside MS Teams. This will allow other functions to reference some of the CAD data.
I have placed a link for a top level assembly and the 3D model separately into different tabs of Teams.
Pros?
Cons?
Thoughts?

It seems like a sensible way of sharing models with non-engineers.
I think it would be even better if Onshape could add MS Teams integration in the form of an app, then share links could be dropped into Chats.
They way Onshape works, you can set document permissions using the "Share" function in a document, then just copy/paste a document or tab URL wherever you want. When someone clicks the link, they'll need to sign in and they'll only be shown what they're allowed to see or edit. So, I think sharing is pretty straight forward.
To take things to the next level, it would be cool a preview of a model could be embedded directly in a chat (MS Teams, Slack, Google Chat).
