Project sharing

Read-only public links that let non-users view a project without an account.

Project sharing generates a read-only public link that lets non-users view a Tree project without creating an account. Project sharing is a Paid feature available on Paid and Team tiers.

A read-only public link displays:

  • The graph view of the project with full node and edge rendering
  • Node detail panels when a viewer clicks a node
  • The list view if the viewer switches to it
  • Custom fields and descriptions as configured by the project owner

The viewer cannot:

  • Edit or comment on any node
  • See activity history, comments, or assignments (Team features)
  • Access other projects in the workspace
  • Authenticate or be tracked back to a Tree account

Sharing controls

When generating a share link, the owner can configure:

  • Expiration: link expires after a set period or remains active indefinitely
  • Password protection: viewers must enter a password before accessing the project
  • Visibility filters: hide specific node types, branches, or status states from the share
  • Watermark or attribution: optional branding on the shared view

The share link can be revoked at any time. Revoking immediately invalidates the link for all viewers.

When sharing is useful

Read-only sharing is useful for:

  • Stakeholder updates: showing project state without onboarding stakeholders to Tree
  • Client communication: sharing a project's structure without granting edit access
  • Portfolio or case study: making a project visible publicly as an example
  • Cross-team visibility: letting another team see the work without joining the workspace

Tier availability

Project sharing is a Paid feature, available on Paid and Team. Free does not include public sharing.
