Sharing a public board

Read-only links, safety checklist, and how public URLs differ from guest mode.

Some deployments expose read-only public links for a project so you can share progress without granting edit access.

Typical pattern

• A public URL renders a subset of project data—often board structure and task titles (exact fields depend on implementation).
• Visitors do not need an account; treat the link like an unlisted document.

Safety checklist

• Remove or anonymize customer names, salaries, vulnerabilities before publishing.
• Remember that anyone with the link can reshare it.
• Rotate or disable the link if the feature is supported when a sprint ends.

Compared to guest mode

Mechanism — Writable — Survives new device

Guest board — Yes (local) — No

Signed-in project — Yes (cloud) — Yes

Public share — Usually read-only — Yes (until revoked)

Search engines

Public routes may be marked noindex at the platform level; do not rely on public links for SEO unless you confirm robots policy for that URL pattern.
