Collaboration & Publishing

Whether you’re working with teammates, clients, or friends - ByDesign makes sharing feel effortless and flexible.

🔗 Share a Page (like a Google Doc)

Every page in ByDesign can be shared—just like you’d share a Google Doc.
Click the "Share" button in the top right of any page to get started.

You have two ways to share:

1. With specific people

  • If they’re already on ByDesign:
    Just start typing their name, and their profile will pop up. Select it and set their permissions.

  • If they’re not on ByDesign yet:
    Type in their email address, and they’ll receive an invite link. You can still set whether they can view, comment, or edit the page.

2. With a link

Want to share with someone without adding them manually?
Click “Anyone with the link can…” and choose the permission level:

  • View only

  • Comment

  • Edit

This is great when:

  • You’re working with freelancers or external collaborators

  • You want someone to check a doc without joining yet

  • You’re sharing general info with a wider group

🌐 Publish a Page as a Public Webpage

Sometimes, you don’t want collaboration—you just want to share information.

ByDesign allows you to publish any page as a webpage—a clean, read-only view anyone can access.

To publish:

  1. Click the Share button

  2. Toggle on “Publish page to web”

  3. Copy the generated link and share it with anyone

Common use cases:

  • Share a project brief or proposal with a client

  • Publish a reading list, travel itinerary, or daily schedule

  • Send a one-page document to friends or co-workers

  • Use it as a portfolio or public page

  • Document handbooks, SOPs, checklists—without needing the other person to create an account

Once published, the page is live—but you can unpublish it at any time.

💬 Comments & Threads

Every page supports inline commenting, so you and your collaborators can discuss specific content.

Here’s how it works:

  • Select any text or block on the page

  • Click “Comment” from the toolbar or right-click menu

  • A comment thread opens on the side

  • Others can reply, resolve, or @mention teammates

Use comments for:

  • Giving feedback

  • Asking questions

  • Discussing ideas without changing the actual page content

All resolved comments are hidden, but can be brought back if needed.

✅ Sharing Individual Tasks

Want to collaborate without sharing the full page? You can also share a single task.

  • Hover over the task

  • Click the share icon

  • Choose a connection to share it with

The recipient will receive the task in their Inbox, without seeing the rest of the page.

This is especially useful when:

  • You want someone to help with one thing, not the whole project

  • You’re assigning a quick reminder or one-off task

  • You want to keep your page private but still delegate work

Note: To share a task with someone, they need to be your connection on ByDesign.

👥 How to Connect with People on ByDesign

To assign or share tasks with others, they need to be in your ByDesign network.

To connect:

  1. Go to your Profile

  2. Click Connections

  3. You can:

    • Search for someone already on ByDesign

    • Or Invite them—this sends them your profile link

Once they accept, you can:

  • Assign them tasks

  • Share pages

  • Collaborate seamlessly
