Spaces Publishing and Sharing

Publishing and sharing turns your Space into a link you can send to someone, so they can view your project instantly without installing or configuring anything themselves.

Getting A Shareable Link

Once a Space is in a state you're happy with, you can share it: the tool gives your project a public URL that anyone can open in a browser to see it running, without needing an account, an editor, or any setup of their own.

  • Send the link to a classmate, teacher, or teammate
  • They open it in any browser and see the project running live
  • They don't need to install anything or create an account to view it

What The Other Person Sees

Someone opening your shared link generally sees your project rendered the way the preview shows it to you - the point is to let them view (and often see) the result, not necessarily to hand them editing access to your original Space.

Note: Treat a shared Space link as great for demos, feedback, and learning - not as a substitute for real hosting if you're building something meant to run permanently for real users.

Sharing and privacy options can vary and may change over time, so it's worth checking the current settings for your Space if you need to control exactly who can view or copy it.

  • Good use: sending a working example to a friend or classmate for feedback
  • Good use: showing a teacher or reviewer a small assignment without them installing anything
  • Less suited: replacing a real production deployment for a live business or app
