Publish a share link
When you're ready to show your work to someone — a client, a teammate, a study group — you can publish a beautiful, interactive web version of your storyboard in a single click.
How do I publish my storyboard?
- Open the editor for the project you want to share.
- Click the Share Link button in the top-right of the editor header.
- In the dialog, click Publish.
- StoryFolder uploads your shots, notes, and metadata to a hosted page on
storyfolder.com/b/<id>. - Copy the link. You're done.
What does a share link contain?
A published share link shows your viewers:
- The video itself (embedded if it's a public YouTube/Vimeo source).
- Your storyboard in their choice of Storyboard, Grid, or List view.
- All of your visible note fields, grouped by category.
- Your favorites (highlighted).
- Video-level metadata: title, duration, your name.
It's mobile-friendly, so it works equally well on phone, tablet, and desktop.
Can I update a published link?
Yes. After your first publish, the button changes to Publish Changes. Clicking it pushes your latest notes, shots, and thumbnails to the same URL. The link doesn't change — but everyone who has it sees the new version next time they refresh.
Will viewers see my hidden shots?
No. Hidden shots are excluded from share links. So are any shots filtered out by your active search query at the time you publish — see Search & filters.
Will viewers see all my note fields?
They see whichever fields are currently visible in your editor. To omit a field for a particular publish:
- Open the Notes & Data Fields toggle in the header.
- Untick the fields you don't want viewers to see.
- Click Publish Changes.
The hidden fields stay safe in your local copy — only the publish version is trimmed.
Can I unpublish a link?
Yes — open the Share dialog and click Unpublish. The URL stops working immediately. Re-publishing later gives you a new URL.
Can I share videos I imported from a file?
Yes. The web page will show your storyboard, thumbnails, and notes — but won't include an embedded player (since the file lives on your machine). If the video is also available online (e.g. unlisted YouTube), you can paste the link in the Video Overview note so viewers can find it.
Who can see a published link?
That depends on the privacy level you set when you publish. See Privacy levels for the full rundown.
