Guided steps

Follow the task, then check the result.

Check the passphrase without sharing it

Retype or paste the passphrase locally. If it fails, ask the sender to confirm through a separate trusted channel.

Success check: The passphrase has been checked without sending it to support.

Check browser and package state

Try a supported browser, check whether the package expired, and note the visible error category.

Success check: You know whether the issue is link, passphrase, expiry, browser, or unknown.

Branch questions

Completion check

No package contents or passphrases were sent to support.

Article details

Troubleshoot package decryption

Help a sender or recipient understand package-opening problems without sharing passphrases or package contents.

Use this guide when the package opening surface is available in your workspace. If you cannot see the screen or control described here, use the safe support path instead of guessing.

Outcome

You can narrow a package-opening issue to link, passphrase, browser, expiry, or permission context without exposing secrets.

Before You Start

  • Do not paste passphrases into support.
  • Confirm you are using the intended package link.
  • Ask the sender for a fresh package only through a trusted channel.

Confirm the link is complete, current, and received through the expected channel.

Check before you continue: You are opening the intended package link.

2. Check the passphrase without sharing it

Retype or paste the passphrase locally. If it fails, ask the sender to confirm through a separate trusted channel.

Check before you continue: The passphrase has been checked without sending it to support.

3. Check browser and package state

Try a supported browser, check whether the package expired, and note the visible error category.

Check before you continue: You know whether the issue is link, passphrase, expiry, browser, or unknown.

Completion Check

  • No package contents or passphrases were sent to support.
  • Link, passphrase, expiry, and browser state were checked.
  • The sender is contacted through a trusted channel if regeneration is needed.

Safe Examples

  • A masked package link showing only the domain and route.
  • An error category without the passphrase.

If You Need Support

Contact support when:

  • A valid package still will not open in a supported browser.
  • The visible error does not match link, expiry, or passphrase troubleshooting.

Include only support-safe context:

  • Article slug and selected workflow step.
  • Screen or action name.
  • Browser, viewport, workspace type, and file type category when relevant.
  • Synthetic sample shape or already-redacted sample only after review.

Still stuck?

Copy a safe article handoff.

Start support with the article, the issue, and safe context. Raw document text, files, restoration material, and unredacted screenshots stay out unless you explicitly choose otherwise.
