How can I make my site on Webflow editable and viewable through a Read-Only link?

TL;DR
  • Open your Webflow project, click the Share icon, and enable the Read-Only Link to generate a view-only URL.
  • Share the link with others so they can view and inspect the project in the Webflow Designer without editing or publishing rights.

To share your Webflow site as editable or viewable with others, you'll need to use a Read-Only link. This allows collaborators to view the project inside the Webflow Designer without giving them the ability to publish or make permanent changes.

  • Open your Webflow project.
  • In the top-right of the Designer, click the Share (arrow icon).
  • Toggle on "Enable Read-Only Link".
  • Webflow will generate a unique URL. This is your Read-Only link.
  • Copy the link provided and send it to anyone who needs to view or inspect the project.
  • They can open the link in their browser and interact with the site inside the Webflow Designer, but cannot save changes, delete elements, or publish.

3. Understand Limitations

  • No editing or publishing: Viewers can explore styles, layout, and structure, but changes are not saved.
  • Limited access: It’s strictly for view-only inspection—ideal for developers, teammates, or clients wanting to check layout, classes, or component structure.
  • Users must have a Webflow account to open the link in the Designer.
  • To disable access later, go back to the Share menu and toggle off the Read-Only link.
  • This instantly deactivates the link across all shared instances.

Summary

To let others inspect your Webflow project, enable the Read-Only link via the Designer’s Share icon. This provides a non-editable yet fully interactive view of your site for collaborators, clients, or developers.
