What is Link Sharing?

"Link Sharing" allows a project owner to share their project via secret links. Anyone who has one of these secret links to a project will be able to view and/or edit the project, depending on the type of link used.

This feature replaces the old "Public Access" feature in ShareLaTeX.

[edit] Turning On Link Sharing

To turn on link sharing, click the "Share" button in the toolbar

Then click the "turn on link sharing" button in the dialog

When link-sharing is turned on, you will see two secret links which can be shared with anyone you want to give access to.

[edit] Turning off Link Sharing

Link sharing can be turned off from the same "Share" dialog as it is turned on. When turned off, the secret links will no longer allow access to the project.

[edit] Link Sharing and Track Changes

When link sharing is turned on, the Review panel will show an option to enable track changes for Guests which are accessing the project via shared links
