Do it yourself
#- Open the project and choose Publish at the top of the editor, then the Share tab. Or open the project menu (☰ and the project name) and choose Share project…. A project that was never saved asks you to choose Save Project first.
- Type an email address into Invite by email....
- Choose the role next to it: Viewer, Editor or Admin. The table below says what each one can do.
- Choose Invite. If the person has a Playcode account, the app says "Access granted", and the project appears under SHARED WITH ME in their left panel; Playcode sends no email. Otherwise the app says "Invitation sent": they get an email with a link, and People shows them as Invitation pending until they accept.
- To share with a whole team in a team workspace, under Access pick the team in Add a team…, choose its role and choose Add. People who join the team later get the same access.
- To change someone's role, use the menu next to their name. To remove someone, choose × (Remove access).
- To send someone the project's address, choose Copy editor link. A new project starts private: someone you did not invite can open the link only after you set Anyone with the link to Can view.
What each role can do in a project:
| Viewer | Editor | Admin | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open the project, its preview and its chats | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Send messages to the agent, change files and settings | No | Yes | Yes |
| Save and restore checkpoints in a static site | No | Yes | Yes |
| Open a terminal in a Cloud app | No | Yes | Yes |
| Invite people and change their roles | No | No | Yes |
| Publish, unpublish, and save or restore checkpoints in a Cloud app | No | No | Yes |
| Delete the project, move it to another workspace, connect a custom domain | No | No | No |
The project's creator can do everything in the table, and so can an Admin of the project's workspace. Only the creator can make someone an Admin of the project.
If it doesn't work
#"Project admins can share with existing Playcode users only."
#A project Admin can add people who already have an account. To invite someone new, ask the project's creator or a workspace Admin.
The invitation expired or never arrived
#An invitation lasts 7 days. Next to a pending invitation, choose the link button (Copy invite link) and send the link yourself, or choose Revoke to cancel it. To send a fresh one, invite the same address again.
There is no invite field
#Only the project's creator, a project Admin or a workspace Admin can invite people. A Viewer or an Editor sees the list of people only. Someone you shared with can leave the project with × next to their own name (Leave shared project).
Limits
#- People you invite to a project get that project only. They do not join your workspace and do not count toward its member limit.
- Anyone with the link is separate from the people list. Can view means "Anyone on the internet with the link can view". No access keeps the project private, on every plan, and a new project starts with it: see Make a project private.
- In a team workspace, the row Everyone at and the workspace name sets what all members get: No access, Can view or Can edit. When a person has access in several ways, the strongest one counts. See Workspaces, members and roles.
- In a static site, the creator also sees Anyone with link can edit ("Great for coding interviews and pair programming sessions") and Anyone with link can use AI (paid plans). Turning on editing also turns on the view link.
- Someone else who opens your static site's link can choose Remix Project in its Share tab to make their own copy. Your project stays as it is.
- The agent's work in a shared project is paid from the project's workspace, whoever sends the message.
- The agent cannot invite people or change roles. Sharing stays with you.
