G-d willing

Hello,  
Assuming I have the following templates:

```haskell
template AnotherTest
  with
    party1 : Party
    party2 : Party
  where
    signatory party1, party2
    
template Test
  with
    party1 : Party
    party2 : Party
    party3 : Party
  where
    signatory party1, party2, party3

    nonconsuming choice NewTest : ContractId AnotherTest
      controller party1
        do
          create AnotherTest with ..

```

When `party1` is exercising the `NewTest` choice, `AnotherTest` contract is created, however, `party3` is a witness to it.

But how can `party3` see it?

In addition, let’s say I update the `AnotherTest` template to the following:

```haskell
template AnotherTest
  with
    party1 : Party
    party2 : Party
  where
    signatory party1, party2

    nonconsuming choice NewestTest : ContractId AnotherNewTest
      controller party2
        do
          create AnotherNewTest with ..

template AnotherNewTest 
  with
    party2 : Party
  where
    signatory party2

```

So, now the result is:

In this case, how does a divulge appears to be visible to a contract? And how it can view it?

Thanks,

@cohen.avraham  
I think you’ll find the answer in the post I just submitted on [another thread](https://discuss.daml.com/t/what-are-the-differences-between-observer-witness-and-divulge/5846). Let me know otherwise.
