🔗Share Links & Transferring Projects
Share Links enable you to share your Webstudio Project with other people and set permissions.
Use cases:
Providing team members or clients the ability to modify a site
Cloning the Project to another Webstudio account
Sharing your Project to get support
Selling templates (i.e., using Share Links to deliver the template upon payment)
Creating your own marketplace of templates
Cloning Projects
When you share a project with View permission (or higher), recipients can clone the project to their own Webstudio account:
Create a Share Link with at least View permission
Send the link to the recipient
They open the link and click the Clone button in the Builder
The project is copied to their account
Pro tip: Use this feature to build a template marketplace. Create templates, share View links, and let users clone them into their accounts.

Share Links are created in the Top Bar in the Share dialog.
There is no limit to how many Share Links you can add.

Working with clients
When building a site for someone else, you may want to either transfer the site to them altogether, or provide them the ability to edit the content without providing the full power of the website builder.
Option 1: Transfer entire Project
Create a new Share Link to transfer the Project to your client. Ensure the link has cloning permissions (see Types of Share Links). Then, send the link to your client so they can clone the Project into their Webstudio account.
If you are on a paid tier, it’s tied to your account, not the site. Therefore, if you transfer the site to another account, that account would need to purchase a plan if the site requires paid features/limits.
If you plan to continue working on the website, they’ll need to create a Share Link and send it to you once it’s in their account.
Option 2: Content mode
The Pro tier lets you create Share Links with the Content permission, allowing recipients to edit content without designer-oriented features like the Style Panel.
To provide this, create a Share Link, toggle “Content”, and send this link to your client.
See Modes to learn more about this.
