What is a read-only link in Webflow?
A read-only link in Webflow is a special URL that allows you to share your web design project with others. It gives them the ability to view and interact with your project, but they cannot make any changes to it. This can be useful when you want to show your work to clients, collaborators, or stakeholders without giving them full editing access.
How to use a read-only link in Webflow?
To create and use a read-only link in Webflow, follow these steps:
- Login to your Webflow account and open the project you want to share.
- In the web design editor, click on the "Publish" button located in the top-right corner of the screen.
- In the "Publish" panel that appears, scroll down to the "Share" section.
- Toggle on the "Enable read-only link" option.
- A unique read-only link will be generated for your project. You can copy this link by clicking on the "Copy link" button.
- Share the link with the people you want to give access to. They will be able to view and interact with your project using this link, but they will not be able to make any changes.
It's worth noting that read-only links automatically update whenever you publish changes to your project. So, if you make any updates or edits to your design, the people with whom you have shared the read-only link will be able to see the latest version of your project simply by accessing the link.
Using a read-only link in Webflow is an efficient way to showcase your web design work to clients, get feedback from stakeholders, or collaborate on a project without granting full editing access.
