How Do I Share Access to Webflow?

by

Sharing access to Webflow is a crucial step in collaborating with your team or clients. By granting others access to your Webflow project, you can work together seamlessly and efficiently. In this tutorial, we will explore various methods to share access to your Webflow project.

Method 1: Collaborator Access

If you want to provide someone with full access to your Webflow project, you can add them as a collaborator. Collaborators have the ability to make changes, publish the site, and manage the project settings. Here’s how you can add a collaborator:

  1. Step 1: Log in to your Webflow account and navigate to the Project Settings.
  2. Step 2: Click on the “Collaborators” tab.
  3. Step 3: Enter the email address of the person you want to invite as a collaborator.
  4. Step 4: Choose their role – either “Editor” or “Designer”. Editors can make changes but cannot access project settings or export code. Designers have full access.
  5. Step 5: Click on the “Send Invite” button.

This will send an email invitation to the person you want to collaborate with. Once they accept the invitation, they will have full access to your Webflow project.

Method 2: Editor Access

If you only want someone to review or make content changes without giving them full control over the project settings, you can invite them as an editor. Editors can update content but cannot modify design styles or publish changes. Here’s how you can invite an editor:

  1. Step 1: Log in to your Webflow account and navigate to the Project Settings.
  2. Step 2: Click on the “Editors” tab.
  3. Step 3: Enter the email address of the person you want to invite as an editor.
  4. Step 4: Click on the “Send Invite” button.

The invited editor will receive an email invitation. After accepting it, they can start making content changes within your Webflow project.

Method 3: Share Preview Link

If you only want to share a preview of your Webflow project without granting editing access, you can use the share preview link feature. This allows others to view your project and provide feedback without making any changes. Here’s how you can generate a share preview link:

  1. Step 1: Open your Webflow project in the Designer.
  2. Step 2: Click on the “Publish” button in the top-right corner.
  3. Step 3: In the Publish modal, click on the “Share Read-Only Link” button.

A read-only link will be generated, which you can copy and share with anyone. They can use this link to view your project in their browser without being able to make any changes.

In conclusion,

To collaborate effectively using Webflow, there are multiple options available for sharing access. You can add collaborators for full access, invite editors for content changes only, or generate a share preview link for read-only access. Choose the method that best suits your collaboration needs and start working together seamlessly!
