4. **Choose where comments go**
   Under **Annotations & Comments with attachments**, select **On next page** or **On same page**.

5. **Click the print icon**
   Click the print icon below the gear. The icon is disabled and shows **Preparing pages…** until all pages are ready. Then use your browser print window and select **Save as PDF** to download the file.

The print view shows the brand, the tech pack name, the style name and code, status, collection, category and attributes at the top of each page, followed by the sections you chose when you [created the tech pack](https://docs.vestislabs.com/collection-style/create-new-tech-pack-list/). Which emails, dates and comments appear follows the **Annotation & Comment Settings** on the [overview](https://docs.vestislabs.com/collection-style/tech-pack-overview/).

> [!NOTE]
> If the page shows **Unable to load required data for print view.**, close the tab and open **View/Download** again from the overview.

## Print the measurement sheet

**Where to find it:** Collection & Styles → Styles → (select a style) → Tech Pack → Measurements

On the **Measurements** tab, select the **Version** you need, click **Export**, then click **PDF**. The measurement print view opens in a new tab with the same gear icon: under **Layout**, select **Landscape**, **Landscape Compact** or **Portrait**, then click the print icon. See [Tech pack measurements](https://docs.vestislabs.com/collection-style/tech-pack-measurements/).

## Share an order sheet with a supplier

A shared link shows a supplier the sample order sheet. If the sample is linked to a tech pack, the same page also includes the tech pack. The link is created when you send the sample request.

1. **Open the sample**
   On the **Overview** tab, open the three dots menu of the tech pack and click **Sample Requests**. Click a request to see its **Sample Details**. You can also work with samples in [Sampling](https://docs.vestislabs.com/sampling/sampling/).

   ![The Sample Details window of the sample request with the Other Actions button](https://docs.vestislabs.com/assets/collection-style/assets/tech-pack-print-and-share/64-sample-details.webp)

2. **Click "Other Actions → Send Request"**
   **Send Request** is only available while the sample status is **Created**. For any other status it is greyed out, as in this sample.

   ![The Other Actions menu with Send Request and Revoke Order Sheet Link both greyed out for a sample that is not in the Created status](https://docs.vestislabs.com/assets/collection-style/assets/tech-pack-print-and-share/65-other-actions.webp)

3. **Select a contact or enter an email**
   In **Send Request**, select a contact or type an email address in **Email**, then click **Send Request**.

   ![The Send Request window with an email address typed and the Send Request button ready](https://docs.vestislabs.com/assets/sampling/assets/sampling/74-send.webp)

The supplier receives an email with a link and a passkey. Sending the request again reuses the existing link while it is active.

### What the recipient sees

1. **Open the link**
   The page **View Order Sheet** asks for the passkey from the email.

   ![The View Order Sheet page asking the recipient for the passkey from the email](https://docs.vestislabs.com/assets/collection-style/assets/tech-pack-print-and-share/66-passkey.webp)

2. **Enter the passkey and click "View Order Sheet"**
   If the passkey is wrong, the page shows **Invalid passkey. Please check the passkey from your email and try again.**

The recipient sees the **Sample order sheet** with the brand, supplier, request details, status history and comments marked for the order sheet. If the sample is linked to a measurement or a tech pack, those pages follow. The gear icon offers **Order sheet layout** (**Portrait** or **Landscape**) and **Tech pack layout** (**Landscape compact**, **Landscape** or **Portrait**), and the print icon prints the page. The recipient does not need a Vestis account.

### Revoke the link

In **Sample Details**, click **Other Actions → Revoke Order Sheet Link**, then confirm with **Revoke Link**. Anyone who still has the link and passkey loses access straight away. Sending the request again creates a new link. If someone opens a revoked link, the page shows **Your session has expired or this link has been revoked. Please re-enter the passkey.**

> [!WARNING]
> **Revoke Order Sheet Link** is greyed out when the sample has no active link.
