Public share links

A public share link is a unique address for one item: a task, a wiki page, a saved view or a project. A project link opens a read-only summary of the project for anyone who holds it, without an account: its status, milestones, risks, issues, decisions and recent updates. A link to a task, wiki page or saved view opens a page that names what was shared but does not show it. A signed-in member of the workspace that owns a shared item sees an Open in Atlas link to the item, and anyone else is asked to sign in and is returned to the share afterwards. A project link can carry a password and an expiry date, and so can any link created through the API; every successful open is counted. You create a task link from Public link in the task, and a project link from Share publicly in the project actions. Every link is listed, and can be revoked, at Settings, Public share links.

• A project link opens a read-only summary of the project, with an optional password and expiry date
• A link to a task, wiki page or saved view opens a page that names the shared item without showing it; a signed-in member of the owning workspace gets Open in Atlas, and anyone else signs in and returns to the share
• Only a hash of each link is stored, so a link can be shown only once, when you create it, and passwords are stored hashed and cannot be recovered

• A revoked link, an expired link and a link that never existed all show the same Link not available page, so nobody can tell which links were once real. Create a new link if the person still needs access.
• Every link is listed at Settings, Public share links, and you can revoke it there. A project link can also be revoked from the project actions.

1. 1Open a task and choose Public link in its Share panel. The link is copied to your clipboard and shown once.
2. 2For a project, open the project actions, find Share publicly, enter an optional password and expiry date, and choose Create share link.
3. 3Copy the link when it is created. Atlas shows it only then. To stop a link working, open Settings, Public share links, and revoke it.

I lost a share link. Can I look it up again?

No. Only a hash of the token is stored, and the raw link is shown once at creation. Create a new share and send that instead. This is what stops a leaked database revealing every live share.

Why does a revoked share link look the same as one that never existed?

A revoked, an expired and an unknown link all receive the same response: a 404 with the message that the shared link is unavailable. Telling them apart would let anyone who guesses addresses learn which ones were once real shares. Create a new share if the recipient still needs access.

How do I recover a share password I have forgotten?

You cannot. Passwords are stored hashed with a per-row salt and cannot be read back. For a project link, revoke it and create a new one with a password you record somewhere safe.
