Yes, it is possible to view and edit the Webflow design using the provided share link. When you create a project in Webflow, you have the option to share a read-only link or a designer link. The read-only link allows others to view your design in the browser, while the designer link gives them access to edit the design in the Webflow editor.

To generate a share link for your Webflow project, follow these steps:

Open your Webflow project in the Webflow Designer.
Click on the "Share" button, located in the top-right corner of the Designer interface.
In the "Share" sidebar that appears, you will see two options: "Publish" and "Invite Editors". Choose the "Publish" option.
Toggle the switch to enable the "Share this project for feedback or collaboration" option.
You can now copy the read-only link to share your design with others. This link will allow them to view your design in the browser, but they won't be able to make any changes.

If you want to give someone the ability to edit your design, you can invite them as an editor by following these additional steps:

In the "Share" sidebar, click on the "Invite Editors" tab.
Enter the email address of the person you want to invite as an editor.
Toggle the switch to enable the "Can edit design" option.
Click on the "Invite" button to send the invitation.

The person you invited will receive an email with a link to access the design in the Webflow editor. They can then make changes to the design as needed.

Note: It is important to only share the designer link with trusted individuals who you want to collaborate with or make edits to your design. Sharing the designer link with the general public can potentially compromise the security and integrity of your design.
