How can I use a read-only share link in Webflow?

TL;DR
  • Enable the read-only link in Project Settings under the General tab, then copy the generated URL.
  • Share the link with others to let them view (but not edit) your project; disable it anytime to revoke access.

A read-only share link in Webflow lets others view your project in the Designer without the ability to make changes. Here's how to create and use one.

  • Go to your Webflow project dashboard.
  • Click Project Settings.
  • Navigate to the Settings > General tab.
  • Scroll down to the Share section.
  • Toggle on “Enable read-only link”.
  • A unique URL will be generated. Click “Copy link” to copy it.
  • Paste the link into an email, message, or document to share with collaborators, clients, or support teams.
  • Anyone with the link can open the project in view-only mode within the Webflow Designer.

3. Understand What Others Can See

  • They can view the design, structure, styles, and CMS collections.
  • They cannot edit the project, publish, or access project settings.
  • This is ideal for sharing with developers, collaborators, or for troubleshooting.
  • To revoke access, go back to the Share section of Project Settings.
  • Toggle “Enable read-only link” off.
  • The previously shared link will no longer work.

Summary

To use a read-only share link in Webflow, enable it under Project Settings > General, then share the URL with others so they can view your project without editing access.
