Share your documentation

Finished documentation is most useful in front of other people — a new colleague, a reviewer, a customer. dev-doc lets you share a project with a single public link that opens without an account.

Open the share dialog

On any tab of a project, click Share it. While a project has finished documentation a green banner offers it; once you dismiss the banner, a Share button stays in the tab row, so the option never disappears.

The share dialog with message, public link and share channels.
The share dialog. Hover a number to highlight that part.
  1. Your message — an editable text that goes with the link. Your wording is remembered. Some networks limit the length; the counter helps.
  2. Public link to this project — create the link here. Once it exists you can copy it, renew it, or revoke it.
  3. Share on — post directly to LinkedIn, X, WhatsApp, Reddit, Facebook or send it by email. LinkedIn and Facebook accept the link only — use Copy to paste your message there.
  4. Close — closes the dialog. Nothing is shared until you choose a channel or copy the link.

What the recipient sees

See Opening a shared link for the recipient's view.

Renew or revoke a link

Open the share dialog again. A link can carry an expiry date; Renew extends it. Revoke switches the link off immediately — anyone who opens it afterwards gets "not found". If you create a link again later, the same address comes back to life.

Treat a share link as public. Anyone who has the link can open it, and links get forwarded. Revoke it when it is no longer needed.

Sharing a demo project

Demo projects are already public. On a demo page, the share dialog simply shares the page you are looking at.
