Flowstep makes it easy to share your designs with anyone who needs to see them. You can generate a shareable link for any design and send it directly to stakeholders—no account setup or software installation required on their end. This removes friction from the feedback process whether you are presenting to executives, clients, or cross-functional teammates.
1

Open the design you want to share

Navigate to the design in your Flowstep project.
2

Generate a shareable link

Use the share option to create a link for the design. To let people outside your organization open it, set the file’s General access to Public — new files default to Members only.
3

Send the link

Paste the link into an email, Slack message, Notion doc, or wherever your stakeholders will see it. Anyone with the link can open the design immediately.
Viewers do not need a Flowstep account to open a shared design link, and viewing is always free. Shared links are view-only — people with the link can look at the design in their browser, but they can’t edit it.

​
Control who can open a file

Each file has a General access setting in the share dialog with three levels:
  • Restricted — only people with access can open the file.
  • Members only — members of your organization (the Owner, Admins, and Members) can view and edit the file.
  • Public — everyone with the link can view the file. Link access is view-only.
Only the file’s creator, the organization Owner, and Admins can change a file’s general access.

​
Invite people by email

You can also invite specific people to a file by email with one of two access levels:
  • Can view — they can open the file but not edit it. People you invite this way become Guests in your organization, which is free.
  • Can edit — they can edit the file. Granting edit access adds the person to your organization as a Member, which uses a paid seat — on a paid plan you’ll be charged for it, and on the Free plan they can only view until you upgrade.
Only the organization Owner and Admins can grant edit access; other members can invite people with view access. Invitees don’t need an existing Flowstep account — one is created for them automatically. Shareable links are useful any time you need input or sign-off from people who are not part of your day-to-day design workflow:
  • Executive or leadership reviews — share early-stage concepts for direction before investing more time.
  • Client presentations — let clients view designs at their own pace and come back with consolidated feedback.
  • Cross-team alignment — share flows with engineering, product, or marketing without requiring tool access.
  • Async feedback — send links to stakeholders in different time zones so they can review when it suits them.

​
Collaborating with your team

For ongoing collaboration — teammates who create and edit designs with you — add people to your organization as Members or Admins instead of sharing file by file. See Organizations and Organization settings.
