Updating a Shared Board

A live share link can be updated as often as you want. The URL stays the same; the content refreshes.

Push an update

Open the board → Share board → the Live Link card shows the existing share with Update and Stop sharing buttons. Click Update.

The app:

• Re-generates the static HTML.
• Re-uploads the board’s media files and the viewer’s download ZIP.
• Bumps the share record’s timestamp.

Viewers who open the URL afterwards see the new content. Viewers already on the page do not need to refresh — the viewer polls the share’s status, and when the timestamp changes it shows an “Updating board…” banner and hot-swaps the new content in place.

Stop sharing

In the same card, click Stop sharing. The app:

• Removes the HTML and all media for that share from storage.
• Deletes the share record, which cascades to its comments.

The URL stops resolving. Re-publishing creates a new share with a new URL.

Update vs republish

• Update keeps the URL and the existing comments.
• Stop sharing deletes the share; a new publish gets a new URL with no comments.

Performance

Update re-uploads the media, so the time it takes scales with the board’s total media size rather than with how much you changed. A board of heavy 4K video takes noticeably longer than a board of stills — publish updates in batches rather than after every small edit.
