# Manage guest links

> Choose guest content, test the recipient view, and update or revoke a link.

Create a guest link when a recipient needs to view selected study content without signing in. You need Editor or Owner access, and your organization must allow share links.

Open **Share → Links** in the study header.

## Create a guest link

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start a new link">
    Open **Links** and select **New link**. Give it a recipient-facing purpose, such as “Agency debrief review.”
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose what it contains">
    Select any combination of **Questionnaire**, **Results**, **Report**, and **Slides**. Review the **This link shows** summary before continuing.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set access details">
    Choose an expiry, switch **Allow comments** on if the recipient should review slides, and select **Create link**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy and test it">
    Copy the URL and open it in a private browser window to confirm that it exposes the intended material.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Results access levels

Each level includes the information listed above it.

| Level                 | Guest view                                               |
| --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Live counts**       | Completion and quota progress only.                      |
| **Respondent list**   | One row per participant, without their answers.          |
| **Screening answers** | The participant list and answers to screening questions. |
| **Full results**      | All available participant answers.                       |

When sharing results without a report or deck, you can limit them to a panel provider and choose whether to display that provider's respondent IDs and entry-link parameters. These extra parameters come from the participant’s entry URL; they are distinct from study variables. The same visibility setting controls both identifiers and parameters.

### Content that is included automatically

A report or slide deck depends on the study's full questionnaire and results. Selecting either can therefore raise other choices to **Full form** and **Full results**. Locked rows identify why the access was added. Clear the report or deck selection to make those rows editable again.

If a recipient should see a presentation but not participant-level results, send the exported PowerPoint instead of a live report link.

## What a guest can do

The guest opens a page titled **Shared with you** without creating an account. They see only the tabs enabled on the link, such as Survey form, Tracking, Responses, Report, or Slides. If comments are enabled, they can comment on included slide decks; internal analysis chat is not shared.

## Update or revoke access

| Goal                            | Action                                                           |
| ------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Pause a guest link              | Switch **Enable link** off. Its configuration remains available. |
| Change content or expiry        | Open **⋯ → Edit access** on the link card.                       |
| Remove a guest link permanently | Open **⋯ → Delete link** and confirm.                            |
| Remove a person's direct access | Select **×** on their People row and confirm.                    |
| Cancel a pending invitation     | Remove its pending row, then confirm.                            |

The last Owner cannot be removed or demoted. Assign another Owner first. Only the link creator or an Owner can disable or delete a guest link.

An administrator can disable guest links for the entire organization in Workspace settings. That switch immediately makes existing guest links unavailable as well.

## If a recipient cannot open the link

Open **Share → Links** and inspect the link card:

* An **Expired** label means its expiry must be extended through **Edit access**.
* A disabled toggle means the link must be enabled again.
* A missing card means the link was deleted.
* A message that link sharing is disabled means an organization administrator must enable it.

Expired, disabled, deleted, and mistyped URLs show the same unavailable page to guests, so make this check from the signed-in study.

## Confirm the final access

Open the copied URL in a private window. Check every visible tab, the result depth, any provider restriction, and whether comments are available. After disabling a link, reload that private window and confirm it is unavailable. Keep the link’s purpose and expiry aligned with the review period.
