What are the steps to share a web page created in Webflow using a public share link?

TL;DR
  • Enable and share the read-only Designer link to let others view the project structure without editing.  
  • Publish the site to Webflow.io or a custom domain, then share the live URL for public viewing.

To share a web page in Webflow using a public share link, you can either share a read-only link to the project or publish the site and share the live URL. Here's how to do both:

​

1. Share a Read-Only Designer Link

​

Use this method to share the Webflow project in the Designer view (for collaborators or clients to review the build, not the live site).

​

  • Open your project in Webflow.
  • Click the Share button in the top-right corner of the Designer.
  • Toggle on "Share Read-Only Link".
  • Copy the generated URL and share it.

​

Note: This read-only link allows others to view the project in the Designer but not make changes.

​

2. Publish Your Site to Webflow.io (or Custom Domain)

​

To share the live version of the site, publish it first.

​

  • Click the Publish icon in the upper-right of the Designer or in the Dashboard.
  • Select the webflow.io subdomain (e.g., yoursite.webflow.io), or your custom domain if connected.
  • Press Publish to Selected Domains.
  • Copy the published URL (e.g., https://yoursite.webflow.io) and share it.

​

The site is now live and fully viewable to anyone with the link.

​

Summary

​

Use the read-only Designer link to share your project's structure with editors or clients, and publish to Webflow.io or a custom domain to share the live, public page. You can copy and send either URL as needed.
