Creating Your First Share Link

Before creating your first share link, you'll need to set an agency name if you haven't already. This helps brand your shared visualizations and creates a professional presentation for clients.

Once your agency name is set, you can create a share link by:

  1. Entering a custom share path (this will be part of your sharing URL)
  2. Setting an expiration date for access
  3. Configuring timeline visibility options

Managing Timeline Visibility

One of the most powerful features of LinkMap sharing is the ability to show how your site structure evolves over time. When sharing your LinkMap, you can control exactly what timeline data clients can access:

Timeline Options

The timeline settings allow you to:

  • Show or hide the entire timeline feature
  • Include pre-optimization snapshots to demonstrate improvements
  • Share manual snapshots that highlight specific changes or milestones
  • Control visibility of individual snapshots for customized presentations

Share Link Management

Once created, your share link appears in the "Active Share Link" section. From here you can:

  • Copy the full share URL to send to clients
  • Update sharing settings at any time
  • Configure Analytics
  • Delete the share link when access is no longer needed

Client View Experience

When clients access your shared LinkMap, they'll see a professional, interactive visualization of your site structure. If you've enabled the timeline, they can explore how the site structure evolves, making it perfect for:

  • Demonstrating the impact of your optimization strategies
  • Showcasing planned site improvements
  • Reviewing structural changes over time

Pro Tip: Using Snapshots Effectively

Create manual snapshots before making significant changes to your site structure. This allows you to create compelling before-and-after presentations when sharing with clients. Learn more about best practices for client presentations.

Additional Options

While viewing your shared visualization, clients have access to the same powerful interaction tools you use, including:

  • Interactive node selection and relationship highlighting
  • Zoom and pan controls for detailed exploration
  • Search functionality to locate specific pages
  • Accessible color schemes for improved visibility

Security and Access Control

Protect your data with built-in security features:

  • Customizable expiration dates for temporary access
  • Unique share paths for controlled distribution
  • The ability to revoke access at any time
