Every canvas you create in ZeroTwo can be shared as a public read-only link. The link opens the canvas in a clean viewer — no login required, no chat history visible. Share reports, code, diagrams, or any canvas content with anyone, instantly.
Shared canvas links are fully public with no access control. Anyone who has the URL can view the canvas — no password, no login. Do not share canvases containing passwords, sensitive personal data, confidential business information, or private keys.

​
How to Share a Canvas

1

Open the canvas

Make sure the canvas panel is open. If it is not visible, click the Canvas pill in the prompt bar to reopen it.
2

Click Share in the canvas toolbar

In the top-right of the canvas panel, click the Share button (share icon).
3

Copy the link

A link is generated in the format /share/canvas/:canvasId. Click Copy link to copy it to your clipboard.
4

Send the link

Paste the link into an email, Slack message, document, or anywhere else. Anyone with the link can open and read the canvas immediately — no ZeroTwo account required.

​
What Viewers See

When someone opens a shared canvas link, they see:
  • The full canvas content rendered in read-only mode
  • All formatting, tables, code blocks, diagrams, and other elements rendered correctly
  • The canvas type displayed in its native viewer (Rich Text, Code, Spreadsheet, Diagram, HTML)
What viewers do not see:
  • The chat conversation that created the canvas
  • Your ZeroTwo account, profile, or any personal information
  • Any edit controls, AI actions, or canvas toolbar buttons
  • Other canvases or chats in your workspace
Sharing a canvas does not share the associated chat conversation. Only the canvas document itself is visible to viewers. The chat remains private to your account.

​
Share Link Format

Shared canvas links follow this URL pattern: 
https://zerotwo.ai/share/canvas/:canvasId
The :canvasId is a unique identifier generated for each canvas. Each canvas has its own share ID. If you click Share again on the same canvas, you get the same link.

​
Managing Shared Links

​
Viewing All Your Shared Links

1

Go to Settings

Click your avatar or profile icon, then select Settings.
2

Open Data Controls

Navigate to Settings → Data Controls.
3

Find Shared Links

The Shared Links section lists all active canvas share links, including the canvas title and the date it was shared.

​
Revoking a Shared Link

If you need to stop sharing a canvas — because the content is outdated, was shared by mistake, or contains information you want to retract — revoke the link at any time.
1

Go to Settings → Data Controls → Shared Links

Find the canvas link you want to revoke in the list.
2

Click Revoke

Click the Revoke button next to the canvas link.
3

Link is immediately deactivated

The link becomes dead instantly. Anyone who tries to open it sees a “not found” page. There is no delay.
Revoking a link does not delete the canvas. The canvas remains in your ZeroTwo workspace. Only the public share link is disabled. You can generate a new share link for the same canvas if needed.

​

Use Cases

ScenarioWhy Share a Canvas
Client deliverablesShare a report or proposal as a clean, formatted read-only view without requiring a ZeroTwo login
Team referencesShare a diagram or decision matrix with colleagues who are not ZeroTwo users
Documentation draftsShare a document draft for async feedback before finalizing
Code reviewShare a code canvas for review without needing to paste code into another tool
Public resourcesShare tutorials, templates, or reference materials broadly

​
Privacy Considerations

Before sharing, ask yourself:
  • Is this content appropriate to make fully public?
  • Could the URL be guessed or discovered by others? (Unlikely — the canvas ID is random, but not impossible to share accidentally.)
  • Does the canvas contain anything I would not want a stranger to read?
If any answer gives you pause, export the canvas as a file (PDF, DOCX, etc.) and share it through a secure channel — email with access controls, a shared drive with permissions — instead of a public link.
Revoke shared links when sharing is done, especially for content that is time-sensitive or sensitive-adjacent. This is good hygiene even when the content seems low-risk.

​
Frequently Asked Questions

No. Shared canvas links are strictly read-only. Viewers cannot make any changes to the content, add comments, or interact with the AI.
Yes. The shared link reflects the current state of the canvas. If you continue editing the canvas after sharing, viewers who open the link will see the updated content.
No. You must be logged into ZeroTwo to generate a share link. However, the people you share the link with do not need a ZeroTwo account to view it.
There is no enforced limit on the number of active shared links on Pro+ plans. Manage all active links from Settings → Data Controls → Shared Links.
