# Share a project with a short link and QR code

Every project has one short link and a QR code. Your team, and clients who have signed in, open the project. Anyone else is asked to sign in.

## Get the project's link

1. Open Projects, choose a project and open its Links tab. The link is shown large, with its QR code beside it.
2. Press Copy link to paste it anywhere.
3. Or press Open in WhatsApp. WhatsApp opens with the message ready, in the client's chat when the client has a mobile number.

## Use the QR code

1. On the Links tab, press Download the QR code to save it as a picture for a message, a poster or an album page.
2. Or press Print a card, then Print this card. The card is A6 and shows the studio name, the project title, the QR code and the link. It has no client name and no dates, so it can stay on a table.

## What people see when they open it

- A signed-in member of your studio goes to the project.
- A client who has signed in to the client page goes to the project there, if they have access.
- Anyone else is asked to sign in. Nobody who is signed out sees the project title, the client's name or your studio name.

## Send a link by text message

1. On a gallery or an album, press Send by text message. On an invoice or a quote, tick By text message when you send it. On the Reviews page, choose Text message under Send by.
2. The text carries a short link. A text goes only when you press the button, and it needs the client's mobile number. A review request sent by text also sends its reminder a week later, by text.

## See how often a link was used

Under the project's link, Links sent for this project lists each gallery, invoice, payment, receipt and review link sent for it. Each row says how often it was opened or scanned, or that it was not opened yet. Opens are approximate, because some mail and chat apps open a link to preview it. Scans of the QR code are counted apart.

## Questions

### Does an older project have a short link?

Yes. The link is made the first time you open the project's Links tab, or the first time a message needs it.

### Does the short link change who can see the project?

No. It only takes people to the same page as the full link. That page still asks for a sign-in, and a gallery, invoice or review keeps its own rules.

### Why does the Links tab show a long link?

Short links are not switched on for the platform yet. The long link works the same way.
