Feedback before launch
Send the link to a partner or a client and let them click through the pages before the site is published. No account is needed just to look.
After you publish·Share a link
Share a link to your site, even before you publish
With one switch in the Share menu, anyone with the link can see your site. With a second switch, they can also clone it and start their own version in their account.
What you get
Cloning is your choice
Cloning stays off until you allow it. A clone copies the pages, files, database items and functions into the other person's account as a new site.
Secrets never travel
A clone never takes your variables, scheduled tasks, domain or chat. It starts on its own free address and on the Starto plan.

Frequently asked questions
How do I share my website before it is published?
Open Share in Studio and switch on Public link, then send the address. The person sees the site as it is now, without an account, and you can switch the link off at any time.
What does someone get when they clone my site?
A new site in their own account with a copy of your pages, files, database items, email templates and functions. Your variables, scheduled tasks, domains and chat history are never copied.
Can I stop people from cloning my website?
Yes. Cloning is off by default, and you can switch Allow cloning off whenever you want. Copies made earlier stay with their owners, but no new clone can be started.
