Sharing
A project can be shared in three ways: by inviting people, by creating a view only public link or by placing it in a workspace.
Everything starts at Share, in the project menu on the dashboard or in the File menu of the editor.
Roles
Each person's role decides what they can do:
| Action | Viewer | Editor | Admin | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Open and view the project | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Edit, save and export | Yes | Yes | Yes | |
| Post to the community | Yes | Yes | Yes | |
| See the project activity | Yes | Yes | Yes | |
| Rename and change settings | Yes | Yes | ||
| Invite and manage collaborators | Yes | Yes | ||
| Create or cancel the public link | Yes | Yes | ||
| Duplicate, move, delete and restore | Yes | |||
| Hand over ownership | Yes |
The role can come from the invitation or from the project's workspace. When a person has both, the stronger one applies.
Inviting collaborators
In the Collaborators tab of the project settings, use Invite collaborator, enter the email and choose the role. The person needs a Tinypoly account, and whoever invites needs a verified email.
The invited person answers in Requests, on the projects page. Once accepted, the project shows up in the Shared tab.
In the same tab you can change a collaborator's role or remove them.
Leaving a project
Anyone who is not the owner can leave a shared project with Leave project, in the project menu. Coming back takes a new invitation.
Handing over ownership
The owner hands the project to a collaborator in Transfer, To a person tab. The person accepts or declines in Requests. Once accepted, they become the owner and the previous owner stays as Admin.
In the To a workspace tab, the same window moves the project to a workspace.
Public link
The public link shows the project in a 3D viewer, to anyone and without an account.
- Create public link creates the link.
- Visitors always see the last saved state.
- Cancelling the link removes access right away.
Community
Share to community opens the community with the project already chosen, to post the result to the feed.
