If I have shared a link to external companies containing folders they need to see from our sharepoint, and then we update some documents in those folders, should the sharepoint link previously sent update and show them the newest versions or does it just show what was previously saved in the link?

Depends what you've shared. A share action, whether it grants read or edit rights make a change to the underlying permission model. If you've shared a folder, than any item within it will inherit those permissions and thus be visible including when they're edited and changed.

If the link is to the folder then the users will see the latest version of the files when you updated them, Its the same as a link to an individual file, the link is to the latest version of the file not to the version at the time the link was created.

Thanks for replying.
I sent the link to an external company then I updated the files with a newer version and when we rang the external company to see if the link had update with the latest version they were still seeing the previous one. Do you know why this has happened?
