# Receiving Documents

Source: https://sites.veevavault.help/gr/siteconnect/document-exchange/receive-docs/

When Sites receive a document in Site Connect, Vault stores a link to the document in **Site Connect \> Site Home \> Document Exchange**. You can only receive certain document types from a Sponsor or CRO.

Documents marked as _Restricted_ (unblinded) are visible to users who have been granted access to Restricted documents in Site Connect. For more information on Restricted documents and their permissions, see [Restricted Documents](/gr/siteconnect/document-exchange/restricted/).

To download a document you received:

1. In the **Document Exchange \> Document Actions** or **Documents** tab, locate the document in the _Document Actions_ or _Documents_ grid.
2. Click **Download** to complete the process.

To bulk download documents you received:

1. In the **Document Exchange \> Documents** tab, locate the documents you wish to download.
2. Select the checkbox next to each document’s name.
3. Select the ellipses icon (…) in the upper-right corner of the **Documents** tab.
4. Select **Download**.
5. Click **Confirm** in the _Download Documents_ dialog.

Vault sends an email notification once the download is complete.

**Note:** You may be required to provide your VeevaID to access some documents. This applies to documents received in Document Exchange, Safety Distribution, and Study Announcements.
