Sharing is available on every plan, including Free — the page is hosted and served by us on your behalf. Opening a shared link never requires a plan, or even an account.
Until now the only way to show someone a cutting plan was to export a PDF and email it. A share link does the same job without an attachment: the recipient opens a page, sees the plan, and needs nothing installed and no account.
Sharing a plan
Open the Projects panel in the app, find the cut you want to show, and click the 🔗 button on its row. The link is copied to your clipboard immediately — paste it into an email, a message, or a work order.
Sharing the same cut again gives you the same link rather than a second one, so there is never a URL in circulation that you cannot see and switch off.
What the page shows
The visitor sees a read-only view: the plan name, the summary figures, and the layout diagrams. They see nothing else about you — not your other projects, not your account, not your customer list.
The page is marked noindex, so search engines are told not to list it. A shared link is unlisted, not published.
How long it lasts, and turning it off
Links last 90 days by default. That is deliberate: a plan needs to survive a real project timeline, but a public address to somebody’s part list should not live forever.
Your dashboard has a Shared plans section listing every live link — the cut it points at, when it expires, how many times it has been opened, and a Revoke button. Revoking takes effect immediately.
A revoked or expired link does not show an error page. It explains what happened and invites the visitor to ask you for a new one, which matters when the address was printed on a plan taped to a workshop wall months earlier.
What it does not do
- It is read-only. Nobody can change your plan through the link, and nothing they do is saved.
- It shows the plan as it was saved. Re-optimizing the cut and saving again updates what the link shows; the link itself does not change.
- It is not a login. There is no way to give someone partial access to your account this way — for working together on the same projects, see Team Workspace.
