Sharing and public links

Sharing in Claos means publishing a page as a read-only link that anyone can open. It's a small, deliberate feature: one toggle, one URL, no permission tiers.

Sharing is for sending a page to someone who doesn't have a Claos account — a client, a vendor, an external contact. Inside the workspace you don't need it; workspace members already have access to the pages in projects they belong to.

What sharing does

Public sharing means one thing: a public read-only link. Anyone with the link can view the page. They can't edit it, can't comment, and can't see other pages in your workspace.

Sharing is one toggle and one URL. There are no permission levels (no viewer / editor / commenter roles), no expiring links, no password protection, and no view analytics.

Publishing a public link

1. Open the page you want to share.
2. Click Share in the page toolbar — a popover opens.
3. Toggle Share to web on.
4. A public URL appears. Copy it and send it to anyone who needs to read the page.

The public link lives at claos.app/share/{token}. Sending the link is enough — the recipient doesn't need an account.

Unpublishing

Open the page → Share → toggle Share to web off. The public link returns a 404 immediately. Anyone with the URL saved will see "not found" the next time they open it.

If you re-enable sharing later, the link is regenerated — old URLs you'd shared previously don't come back.

What public viewers see

The page itself, rendered cleanly. They see:

• The page title.
• The page content (every block on the page).

They don't see:

• The folder structure of your workspace.
• Other pages, including linked or backlinked ones.
• Comments.
• The editor's tools or the Share popover.

The page renders without the workspace chrome — no sidebar, no header.

Tips and gotchas

• Treat the link as public. There's no password and no expiration. Once it's shared, assume the recipient may forward it to anyone.
• Edits go live immediately. When you change the page in your editor, the public version updates on the next load — there's no separate publish step.
• No view stats. You can't tell whether the link's been opened or how many times.
• For workspace-only sharing, add the person as a project or workspace member. Inside the workspace, project membership controls who can read and edit a page — sharing is reserved for people who aren't in the workspace at all.
