Generating a Share Link

Sharing a board is one click — there is nothing to set up first.

Publish

  1. Open the board you want to share.
  2. Click Share board in the top bar.
  3. The dialog shows two cards:
    • Export Board — download as a standalone HTML page with all media files and sub-boards bundled in a ZIP. Works without any cloud setup.
    • Live Link — upload the board and produce a public URL.
  4. Click Share under Live Link.

The app:

  • Generates a static HTML page from the board.
  • Uploads the HTML and every media file, plus a downloadable ZIP of that media.
  • Registers the board with a fresh share ID.
  • Returns the public URL.

A typical board takes a few seconds; boards with many large videos take longer.

Live links go through GreenLight’s open storage unless you set up your own — see Cloudflare Account Setup.

The URL

The format is https://<worker>/view/<share-id>. The share ID is random and unguessable. Anyone with the URL can view the board; there is no further auth.

Once published, the card shows the URL with Copy link and Open in browser buttons, plus Update and Stop sharing.

What viewers see

  • The full canvas, rendered in a read-only viewer.
  • All media, lazy-loaded as they scroll.
  • A download button next to the board title that hands them the media as a single ZIP.
  • A comments panel they can open to leave comments, pinned to the canvas.
  • A small “powered by GreenLight DashBoard” attribution in the footer.

Viewers cannot edit the board, see other boards, or access your local app.

Export Board

If you do not want a hosted link at all, use Export Board instead. The app produces a single ZIP with an index.html plus the media folder and any sub-boards. Send the ZIP by any channel and the recipient unzips and opens index.html locally — or imports it back into their own app.

The export has no comments, does not update when you change the board, needs no setup, and is not gated behind Pro.
