Share links and copies

There are three ways to share a piece without exporting a file: a link to watch it, a copy to edit, and a share file for a preview. All of them start from Share in the top bar.

A link to watch it

1. Click Share, then Copy shareable link.
2. Paste the link anywhere: an email, a chat, a review doc.

Anyone with the link can watch the piece and try its hover and click behaviors. They can't edit it.

• You need to be signed in: the page is published under your account, and counts toward your plan's published pieces.
• Each project has one link. After you change the piece, click Refresh shareable link: the same link shows the new version.
• The link's page isn't listed anywhere, and search engines are asked not to show it.

See Publish and embed to put the piece on your own website instead.

A copy to edit

Send a copy gives a colleague their own copy of a project, to change as they like. Nothing they do reaches yours.

1. Click Share, then Send a copy…. Or click Send a copy on the project in your projects list.
2. Paraplex makes the link and copies it. Send it on.

Whoever opens it gets the project as it is in your account at that moment, saved as a new project in their browser. They don't need an account.

A share file for a preview

Menu › Export share file… downloads the scene as a small file, <project name>.paraplex-share.json. Put the file on a web host that lets other sites read it, then open Paraplex with ?view= and the file's address on the end:

https://app.paraplex.ai/?view=https://example.com/launch.paraplex-share.json

The piece opens as a preview: it plays and scrubs, with the editing tools out of the way, and nothing is saved.
