π€ Sharing & Live Collaboration
Share any workflow, whiteboard or design with a link β or go live and work on the same document together, cursors and all. Recipients can view instantly in their browser, no account needed.
Two ways to share
Open a document and click the Share button in the header.
| Mode | What it does | Great for |
|---|---|---|
| Email a person | Sends them a private view link | A specific teammate or client |
| Get a link | Creates a link anyone can open | Posting in team chat, docs, anywhere |
| Collaborate | Starts a live session with cursors, annotation and co-editing | Working together in real time |
Every link shows the latest saved version of your document, opens straight in the browser, and can be revoked by you at any time.
Anyone with a link can view the document β double-check it doesn't contain secrets before sharing.
Live collaboration
On the Share dialog's Collaborate tab, press Go live. From that moment:
- A green people badge appears on the Share button with a count of who's connected, and a green dot marks the document's tab.
- Everyone in the session sees each other's named, coloured cursors moving in real time.
- If someone's cursor is outside your view (different zoom or screen size), a small coloured dot at the edge of your screen points to where they are.
- Changes sync live β move something, draw something, delete something, and everyone sees it within a blink.
Invite people right from the Collaborate tab: type an email and choose View or Edit. If they're online in Circuitry they get an instant pop-up invitation (with a ping); either way they receive an email with a join link.
View β perfect for clients
Viewers open your live session in their browser β no account, no install. They can't change your document, but they're far from passive:
- Pointer β their cursor is visible to everyone, so "this one, right here" works.
- Marker β draws bold strokes that fade away after a moment. Ideal for circling things while you talk; nothing is left behind.
- Pen β draws annotations that stay visible to everyone until cleared. Notes, arrows, "change this" scribbles β none of it touches your actual document, and it all vanishes when the session ends.
This is built for the classic situation: you're on a phone or video call with a client, you send them the link, and within seconds you're both looking at the same canvas β them circling what they want changed, you editing it live as they watch.
Edit β perfect for teammates
Edit invitations are for real co-editing. Your teammate signs in with the invited email and the document opens as a normal tab in their own Circuitry β full toolset, not a stripped-down viewer. You both get an annotation strip on the right edge of the editor, so you can keep sketching ideas over the document while you build.
- Both of you can add, move, edit and delete β changes merge live in both directions.
- Selections stay personal: what you select is never disturbed by their edits.
- Undo is personal too β your undo only reverts your actions. Whoever deleted something is the one who can undo it back.
- Your copy is the one that's saved. Collaborators' edits flow into your document; nothing is written anywhere else.
Reinviting the same people
The Share dialog keeps a simple person list β one row per person, however many times you've shared with them. Two buttons: reshare (sends them a fresh link β and on the Collaborate tab, a fresh live invitation) and remove (all their links stop working). A small View/Edit chip on each row shows how they'll join next time; click it to switch.
Ending a session
Press End on the Collaborate tab. Everyone's live view stops, annotations are cleared, and your document stays exactly as you left it. Share links continue to show the last saved version until you revoke them.
Use cases
Design review with a client β Share your design, jump on a call, go live. The client joins from the email link in seconds (no sign-up), points and circles with the fading marker while you make the changes live. The meeting ends with the work already done.
Pair-building a workflow β Invite a teammate with Edit. You wire the data flow on the left while they configure the agent on the right; everyone's cursor and every change is visible to both. Annotate over the canvas to plan, then build.
Async feedback β Not everything needs a meeting. Send a view link in the evening; your collaborator opens it whenever, and replies with their notes. When you're both around, upgrade the same person to a live session with one click on the reshare button.
Walkthrough for a stakeholder β Go live, share your screen-free walkthrough link, and guide them through the document with your cursor while they watch from their own browser β at their own zoom level, on their own device.
Limits
- Up to 6 people in a live session.
- Email invitations are limited per day (it counts people, not sends β reinviting the same person is always fine).
- Live collaboration is available for workflows, whiteboards and designs, with more document types on the way.
