Share API Documents
Access belongs to each published version, so 2.1 can be open to partners while next stays with your team. Set it in the publish dialog, and change it at any time in the version’s Access Control section.
| Access | Who can read | Available |
|---|---|---|
| Members Only | Everyone with access to the repository | Private repositories |
| Members + External viewer | Members, plus the users you add to this version | Private repositories |
| Public To All | Anyone | Enterprise plan |
A document from a public repository can only be Public To All. Keep a repository private to use Members Only, external viewers and shared links.
Share with external users
External viewers
To share a version with someone outside your repository, add them as an external viewer. External viewers do not count toward your paid seats. They are unlimited on Team and Enterprise plans, and limited to 4 per document on the Free plan.
- Open the version from the Publish Center.
- In Access Control, choose Members + External viewer.
- Add the users.
Shared links
A shared link gives anyone who has it access to a document, with no account. For extra protection, set a password on the link. Manage links in the repository’s Publish Center under Shared Links.
External viewers and shared links stay in place when you overwrite a version and when it follows a branch, so they always see the current content without a new invitation.
