Changing file sharing settings through Apex

Question

Hello,

I'm looking to implement a "Make Public" checkbox on files attached to records by setting the "Customer Access" and "Set by Record" options on the file sharing dialog using an Apex trigger. My goal is to allow our internal staff to expose or hide internally posted files to customers through their case records with a single update to attached file's ContentVersion record.

Is it possible to change these settings through Apex? I tried manual updates to the SharingPrivacy field on ContentVersion records (changing from "P" to "N"), but this did not change the selected file's sharing.

Any advice that you can provide would be appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,

Ron

Thank you  @Keiji Otsubo https://trailblazers.salesforce.com/profileView?u=0053A00000DGzlUQAT ,   From the notes in the article, I was able to confirm that I can change the sharing settings on a file through a SOQL query. I can now build an Apex trigger to do this from a field update.   Your quick response is most appreciated!   Thanks and Regards,   Ron
