# Collaboration & sharing

> Share Creative Studio projects with stakeholders and teammates — public view links, team share tokens, and live multi-editor collaboration with presence and sync.

Creative Studio supports multiple sharing modes so you can get feedback from stakeholders, collaborate with teammates, and control who can view or edit a canvas project.

## What sharing options are available?

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Public view link">
    Share a **read-only** view of your canvas with anyone — no ElarisLabs account required.

    **URL format:** `/studio/view/[slug]`

    Stakeholders can inspect the canvas, zoom into nodes, and see generated outputs, but cannot edit parameters or trigger new generations. Ideal for client reviews and approvals.

    **How to generate:** open the project menu and select **Share → Public view link**. Copy the link and send it.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Team share token">
    Share with collaborators inside your organization using a team share token. Recipients must be logged in to your workspace.

    **URL format:** `/studio/shared/[token]`

    Use team share tokens when you want to restrict access to org members only, or when you need to revoke access later (tokens can be invalidated from the project settings).
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Live collaboration">
    When enabled, multiple editors can work on the same canvas simultaneously with real-time presence indicators and state sync.

    Best for pair-production sessions, review-and-edit workflows, and live creative sessions with a director and a designer in the same project.
  </Tab>

## How does live collaboration work?

Live collaboration shows each active editor's cursor position and currently selected node with a color-coded presence indicator.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Who can edit in a live session?">
    Any workspace member with edit access to the brand can join a live session. View-only share links and public view links always remain read-only regardless of live collaboration status.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How is conflict handled?">
    The last-write-wins model applies to individual node parameters. If two editors modify the same node field simultaneously, the most recent change is preserved. Generation runs are isolated — one editor running a node does not block another.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Should I save before large changes?">
    Yes. Before restructuring the node graph (adding/removing/rewiring many nodes at once), save a named project version first. This gives you a clean rollback point if you want to discard the structural change.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I enable live collaboration?">
    Live collaboration is enabled per-project. Open the project menu, go to **Settings**, and toggle **Live collaboration on**. All editors with access will see the session the next time they open the project.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

<Warning>
  Save named project versions before large structural changes when live collaboration is active. Presence and sync recover gracefully from network interruptions, but major node-graph restructuring is easier to review with a known checkpoint.
</Warning>

## What are the sharing permission levels?

| Share type             | Account required | Can edit | Can generate | Who sees it          |
