# Sharing Designs

> How to share Magic Patterns designs

Click **Share** in the editor navbar to open the sharing panel. The panel has two tabs:

* **[Collaborate](#collaborate)** lets you invite people and share preview or editor links.
* **[Publish](#publish)** makes a version of your design available as a public website.

## Collaborate

The Collaborate panel lets you manage access to your design and share it with others.

Which link should I use?

* **Preview link** — Opens a rendered, interactive version of your design instead of the Magic Patterns editor. Use this when you only want someone to view and interact with the finished design.
* **Editor link** — Opens the design in the Magic Patterns editor. Use this when you want someone to collaborate by editing the design, viewing the prompt history, leaving comments, or creating a fork.

<Note>
  To make a design viewable by people who were not invited by email, publish it and
  use the public URL; new designs are private by default as of August 4, 2026.
</Note>

### Invite people

Enter one or more email addresses under **Give access**, then click **Invite**. You can also invite your workspace at once.

Use **Who has access** to change the general access setting and manage each person's access (read, write, or transfer design ownership).

## Publish

Use the **Publish** tab when you want to make a design available at a public URL.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Publish the design">
    Click **Publish**. The panel marks the selected version as **Live** and
    shows its published URL.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy the published URL">
    Click the copy button beside the URL and send the link to anyone who should
    see the site.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Unpublish a site

Select **Unpublish** from the live version card. If you unpublish the design, it is no longer available at that public URL; you can still share it with the access controls in the [Collaborate](#collaborate) panel.

### Configure the published site

From the **Publish** tab, you can:

* Change the [publish URL](/docs/documentation/publishing/publish-url) or connect a [custom domain](/docs/documentation/get-started/custom-domain)
* Set the site title, description, favicon, and social preview image
* Require a password
* Show or hide the "Built with Magic Patterns" badge

## Live multiplayer

When teammates open the editor link, their avatars appear in the editor toolbar. The chat thread, generations, and preview update for everyone in real time. On the [Canvas](/docs/documentation/projects/getting-started), you will also see live cursors and shared selections.
