# Bypassing the NDA

**Time to complete:** 5 minutes\
**Prerequisites:** Your Trust Center is live and you’re inviting or approving visitors who have already signed an NDA outside of Conveyor.

***

## Bypassing the NDA

If a customer or prospect has previously executed an NDA outside of Conveyor, you can grant them access to your Trust Center without requiring them to sign again.

This can be done in two ways:

* When inviting a specific user
* When approving an access request

***

## Bypass NDA when inviting a specific user

After inviting a user, you can bypass the NDA requirement for their individual contact record.

1. Navigate to **Audience** in the left menu
2. Open the **Contacts** subtab.
3. Find the contact and click the **utility menu** (three dots).
4. Select **Bypass NDA**.

Confirm the action in the modal popup.

Once bypassed, the user can log in and view your gated content. Their NDA status will show as **Verified Externally** in the Non-Disclosure column.

## Bypass NDA when approving an access request

You can also bypass the NDA directly during the **Process Request** flow.

If you’re approving from [Slack](slack), you can also choose to bypass the NDA after hitting **Approve** in the Slack thread.

## Common questions

**Can I bypass NDA for multiple users at once?**\
No. NDA bypass must be applied individually for each contact.

**Will the user be notified when I bypass the NDA?**\
No. The user simply gains access as if the NDA were already signed. They will see a small callout in the Trust Center indicating that their NDA was bypassed.
