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)

Share Links are created in the Top Bar in the Share dialog.

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 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.
