Publish and share
Publishing turns a version into a URL someone else can open without App access.
What publish does
- Freezes the version you intend to share
- Issues or updates a share token
- Applies published branding
- Gates generate/export with that version’s rules
Unpublished drafts stay in /app/*. Do not send buyers into the App.
Share URL
A typical published link looks like:
https://app.vendorcad.com/share/{token}
Configure routes (/configure/{id}) are the same published surface with a different identifier. Embeds add ?embed=1.
Rotate or revoke a token from the App if a link leaked. Treat tokens as capability URLs.
Who should get the link
| Audience | Use |
|---|---|
| Sales | Mid-call sizing |
| Dealers | Branded configure without App seats |
| Buyer / engineer | See 3D, take STEP when allowed, submit a quote |
