Hi Maarten, The best way I can think for doing this would be to upload a single copy of the datasheets as you have done, then create a folder in Mayan for each project and link each datasheet needed in the project folder. Each instance of the datasheet in every project folder refers to the same datasheet. The only limitation of this approach is that unlike indexes, folders in the current release version cannot be exposed to the filesystem (and in turn to Samba), this functionality is being worked on in the development version, but this version is not yet scheduled for release. You can however in the mean time take advantage of Mayan's bulk downloads where selecting all the documents in a folder would download them as a single zip file.
