Share links & embeds

Sharing knowledge is critical to everyone being on the same page about how your system works and what is being built. IcePanel Share links make this easy, allowing a read-only and up-to-date version of your design to be shared with a URL. Share links can also be protected with passwords or SSO so only the right people can access your diagrams.

In addition to links, landscapes and diagrams can be embedded in the following collaboration tools:

• Confluence

• Notion

• Miro

• Microsoft Sharepoint

• Microsoft Powerpoint

Viewers are free on all IcePanel plans. Only admins and editors in a landscape can create share links.

Share link types

Creating a public share link

Public share links are accessible to anyone with the URL and are read-only. You can share a link to your landscape or a diagram at any level.

To create a public share link:

1. Click on the Share button on the top right of the navigation (in a landscape or diagram)

2. Click on the Share link tab

3. Turn on the Share link for latest version toggle

4. Click on the Copy link button

Tip: When you share a link, viewers will be put exactly where you are when creating your link with the same zoom level, selected objects, and tag groups displayed. You can also have viewers enter a specific flow directly by opening it and sharing a link.
