Share to collaborate#

Generate a share link with a role: viewer (read-only walkthrough) or editor (invited collaborators can add and delete nodes, edit config, and extend the design). Live collaboration keeps cursors and edits synchronized.

A share link renders the same drawing the author sees — tier bands, routed links, bundled port-channels and the Key — so reviewers read the design itself, not a rougher copy of it.

Everyone in a session sees everyone else: named live cursors move in real time and stay correct through pan and zoom, so two people editing the same area can see each other coming. The person who sent an invite can join the session they created.

Note
Multi-canvas designs hold a live session — the shared document carries the tab set alongside the VLAN database and IP pools, so a project with site tabs co-edits as one design rather than falling back to solo. Viewer share links render it read-only with tab pills, as before. If the session cannot connect at all, editing continues solo and saves normally rather than leaving you on an empty canvas.

Share as a public template#

Publishing a design publicly (see Publish Workflow) lists it as a template others can open and build on — always after the scrubber strips addressing and company-specific data.

Why
Design review is a team sport: a viewer link puts the actual living design in front of reviewers instead of a stale PDF, and an editor link lets a colleague fix the thing they spotted. Public templates turn one team's good architecture into everyone's starting point.
