+
+h2(#download-using-workbench). Download using Workbench
+
+You can also download Arvados data collections using the Workbench.
+
+When you visit a project in Workbench (for instance, the <i class="fa fa-fw fa-folder"></i> *Home Projects* or any projects under it), the collections will show up on the project details page, with "_Data collection_" in the *Type* column.
+
+Clicking on a collection will bring you to its details page. There, the lower panel acts like a file manager where you can navigate to or search for files, select them for actions, and download them.
+
+To download a file, simply click on the file, or bring up the context menu using right-click or the triple-dot button on its row, and then select the menu item *Download*.
+
+h2(#download-shared-collection). Creating a special download URL for a collection
+
+To share a collection with users that do not have an account on your Arvados cluster, locate the collection and then go to the *Sharing settings* dialog box as described above. There, select the *SHARING URLS* tab.
+
+You can then generate a new sharing URL using the <span class="btn btn-sm btn-primary">CREATE SHARING URL</span> button, with the option to set an expiration time for the URL. You can then copy the URL to the clipboard for sharing with others. To revoke (that is, delete) a sharing URL, click on the cross icon beside it.

+
+Any user with the sharing URL can download this collection by simply accessing this URL using browser. It will present a downloadable version of the collection as shown below.

+
+When a collection is being shared by URL, in the *WITH USERS/GROUS* tab of *Sharing settings*, the following message will appear if *General access* is Private: _Although there aren't specific permissions set, this is publicly accessible via Sharing URL(s)._
+
+* *Note:* Sharing by URL is specific to collections. Projects or individual files cannot be shared in this way.
