Share content with read-only links

You can now publish a share link: a URL that gives anyone read-only access to one asset or one saved visualization, with no Boldo account required. The link always renders the current resource and current data. It is not a frozen export, and the URL itself is the access credential.

What you can share​

Create a link for an asset, an inventory view, a diagram, a chart, or a nested map. An asset link can open on its properties, relationships, or flow tab when the asset supports flows. Dashboards and unsaved configurations cannot be shared.

You create a link from an asset's 360 page or from a visualization's Actions menu, then copy the generated URL.

Every link carries its own settings, so you can publish several links for the same resource to different audiences:

  • Roles: the link renders with a synthetic Viewer type and the business roles stored on the link. It never grants edit, create, delete, or administration access, and a signed-in visitor gains no extra rights.
  • Expiration: none, 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days.
  • Theme: automatic, light, or dark.

The share dialog lists the links you manage for a resource, with their creation date, expiration, and last recorded use, and a badge beside a shared resource counts its active links and offers a quick copy.

Governance stays in control​

Share links stay unavailable until three controls line up: the plan must include the feature, the organization switch must be on, and each member must be permitted to create them. The plan feature and the per-member permission start off, while the organization switch ships on and doubles as a reversible emergency stop, so no one can create links until an administrator or owner grants the missing controls. Members can only delegate roles they hold themselves; administrators can attach any business role.

The organization switch is a reversible emergency stop. Turning it off freezes every link without deleting it. Links also follow the organization IP allowlist, with an optional bypass for content that must render outside the corporate network.

Why this matters​

Sharing knowledge outside Boldo used to mean exporting it and losing the link to the source. Share links keep the source live and access-controlled: the right people see exactly the asset or visualization you intend, the data stays current, and administrators keep a single place to review, expire, or revoke every public link.
