There are two (2) ways to share a project; (1) By sending it to the person’s email address, this will require the person to signup for a contributor or viewer account depending on the level of authority you specified. (2) by generating a sharable link that is valid for 30 days only. This option will not require the user to signup before they can view the project.
Projects can be shared as follows:
