What is the purpose of providing a Read-Only link for my Webflow site?
TL;DR
- Generate a Webflow Read-Only link to safely share your project for viewing in the Designer without granting edit access.
- Use it to get feedback, collaborate with designers, show client progress, or document project versions without risking changes.
A Webflow Read-Only link allows others to view and explore your Webflow project within the Designer without making changes. This is useful for collaboration, client reviews, and troubleshooting with support or community help.
1. Share Your Design Without Risk
- A Read-Only link lets users open your project in the Webflow Designer, but cannot edit, publish, or break anything.
- This is safer than inviting editors or collaborators with full access.
2. Get Feedback or Help
- Share the link with Webflow support, forums, or teammates to help solve layout issues or provide feedback on structure and interactions.
- Ideal for community troubleshooting or showing a visual bug.
3. Show Client Progress
- Clients or stakeholders can navigate the full layout, styles, and interactions without tampering with live content.
- Helps maintain transparency and project alignment.
4. Collaborate with Other Designers
- Freelancers or teammates can inspect classes, styles, and settings.
- Speeds up collaborative workflows without needing full project access.
5. Version Review and Documentation
- Archive a project state at a given time for internal documentation or design versions.
- Acts as a read-only snapshot for review.
Summary
A Read-Only link in Webflow provides safe, view-only access to your project inside the Designer, enabling collaboration, feedback, and problem-solving without risking unwanted edits.
