Hi team,

I am wondering if there is a way to disable/hide the ‘download’ function on the File Viewer with a variable / rule or css?

Currently I have found using the Nintex Data Table as the best option so far (cleaner and easier) to save/store files and then retrieve and show them on a Review Assign Task form, compared to using SharePoint Online, creating variables and such to get images back - separate issue I am facing is I cannot get documents or multiple page items rendering for view on a ‘Assign Task’ form. 

On the file viewer, I have business units that have explicitly advised that they will not allow a build that has ‘download’ doc/image available. Hence why some of my builds are leveraging SPO however that introduce additional issues to try and mitigate - multiple entries/workflow submissions, times and naming conventions.

hi ​@Callan.Applebee , 

Wondering if the workaround mentioned in another post would help with this question as well?

Oh that it did!

Thanks again for that. 

Works better and overall easier than the issues and build design/permissions I previously used for some forms requiring access to ID information leveraging SPO.
