Sharing Whiteboards
Share whiteboards with your team or create a public read-only link.
Whiteboards can be shared with specific teammates, made visible to everyone in your workspace, or published as a public read-only link.
Open the Share dialog
Click the Share button in the whiteboard header. The Share dialog opens.
You can also share from the Boards list by right-clicking a board card and selecting Share.
Visibility settings
Choose who can access the board:
| Visibility | Who can view |
|---|---|
| Private | Only you and people you explicitly share with |
| Workspace | Anyone in the workspace can view the board |
| Public | Anyone with the share link can view — no login required |
Select the visibility level from the dropdown in the Share dialog.
Copy the share link
After setting visibility to Workspace or Public, a share link appears in the dialog. Click Copy link to copy it.
- Public links open at
/share/board/[token]— a standalone read-only view with no workspace chrome. - Private links are internal URLs — only workspace members who are signed in can open them.
You can also copy a link from the whiteboard header using the ⋯ menu → Copy link. If the board is public, this copies the public share URL. If private, it copies the internal link with a note that it's workspace-only.
Share with specific people
In the Share dialog, search for a teammate by name, select them, and set their permission level. Shared members appear in the list in the Share dialog and can be removed at any time.
Revoke access
- Remove a specific person: Find them in the Share dialog and click remove.
- Revoke public access: Change visibility back to Private. The previous public link stops working.
Regenerate the share token
If a public link has been shared accidentally or needs to be invalidated, click Regenerate link in the Share dialog. This creates a new token and makes the old link permanently invalid.
What external viewers see
When someone opens a public board link, they see:
- The full whiteboard canvas with all elements
- The board title and emoji
- Zoom and pan controls
- No editing tools — the canvas is read-only
- No comment pins or sidebar — comments are workspace-only
The public view respects the current canvas state at the time of viewing.
