Showing work to a client

Send a link. They review without an account, and cannot publish anything.

You have a post ready and the person who has to sign it off does not work here. Share sends them a link. They open a read-only preview in their browser, with no account and no login, and can leave a comment and a verdict.

See one

These are live preview links, one per network, showing the same demo content as each platform will render it. Open them the way your client would.

What they cannot do

Nothing a reader does publishes anything. Their “looks good” is recorded as a note for you, and the post stays exactly where it was. Approving remains something someone with an account does inside the dashboard.

A link gets forwarded. It lands in an email thread, a WhatsApp group, a shared inbox. If opening it could approve a post, everyone who ever saw that thread could publish to your client's audience. So the link can only ever read, and say something.

Where their answer goes

1
They reply

A comment, plus Looks good or Needs changes.

2
You are told

One email to the workspace, at most one an hour however much they write.

3
You read it

Approvals, Client Feedback — every note, each linking to the post it is about.

4
You decide

Mark it handled, edit the post, or approve it. That last part is still yours.

Keeping control of the link

  • Links expire. Seven days, thirty, ninety, a year, or never for something like this page.
  • The address is shown once, when you create it. We store only a fingerprint of it, so it cannot be looked up again later — not by us either.
  • Revoke any link at any time. It stops working immediately, for everyone holding it.
  • The dialog lists the links you have already issued, with how many times each was opened.
  • Previews are excluded from search engines, so unpublished work stays unpublished.
