Invite people

  1. Enter email addresses

    Type one or more addresses in Email, separated by commas.
  2. Choose a role

    Can edit — edit, comment and share. Can view — view and comment.
  3. Send the invitation

    Click Invite. If an invitation needs an admin's approval first, it waits under Waiting for approval until an admin approves it.

Note

Edit invitations need a Plus or Pro workspace. Viewers are free on every plan.

Who has access

The Who has access list shows the owner, everyone invited directly, and People from this folder (access inherited from the folder the file is in).

General access

SettingWho can open the file
Only people invitedThe owner and the people in the list.
Anyone in the workspaceEvery workspace member — as Can edit or Can view.

Moving a file or folder can change who has access. Shippp tells you before the move who would gain or lose access.

A preview link lets anyone see your screens as a real web page — no Shippp account needed. Use it for stakeholder reviews, user tests or client approvals.

  1. Open the Preview link tab

    In Share, switch to Preview link and turn on Publish preview link.
  2. Choose who can open it

    Anyone with the link, or Anyone with the link and password.
  3. Set an expiry and the screens

    Link expires: In a day, In a week, In 30 days or Never. Choose which screens are included.
  4. Copy the link

    Click Copy link. Regenerating the link stops the current one from working and creates a new one.

Request edit access

If you only have view access, a Request edit button appears in the editor. The owner receives your request and can upgrade you.

Connected workspaces

Agencies and partner studios can share a project between two companies' workspaces with Connect workspace. Connected projects appear under Connected in the dashboard sidebar. Plus includes up to 10 connected projects, Pro unlimited.
