Sharing

You can share a read-only view of any scenario with anyone — no account required for the viewer.

No account needed

Anyone with the link can view your scenario immediately. They do not need to create a Pocketstats account or sign in.

Before you begin​

You need an existing scenario to share. If you haven't created one yet, see Scenarios.

Enabling sharing​

  1. Open the scenario in the canvas editor.
  2. Click Share in the header toolbar. The Share dialog opens.
  3. Click Enable sharing. A unique share link is generated and copied to your clipboard.
  4. Send the link to anyone you want to give read-only access.

Disabling sharing​

Revoking immediately cuts off access

Revoking the link immediately stops access for everyone who has it. This cannot be undone — revoking and re-enabling generates a new link, and the old one never works again.

  1. Click Share in the header toolbar.
  2. Click Revoke link.

The previous link immediately stops working. You can generate a new link at any time by clicking Enable sharing again.

Viewer experience​

When someone opens a share link, they see a read-only version of the canvas. Viewers can:

  • Pan and zoom the canvas
  • Click any node or connection to inspect its configuration in the side panel
  • View node type, label, distribution parameters, and resource assignments
  • View connection routing mode and probability weights

Viewers cannot:

  • Edit nodes, connections, or any configuration
  • Run simulations
  • Export or duplicate the scenario
  • See other scenarios in your account

The toolbar and editing controls are hidden. The viewer sees only the canvas and a read-only configuration panel.

Share links look like:

https://pocketstats.io/shared/<uuid>/

Each link is a unique UUID. Revoking and re-enabling sharing generates a new UUID, so old links stop working.

API​

You can also manage sharing via the API:

MethodEndpointAction
POST/api/scenarios/<id>/shareEnable sharing (returns share_token and share_url)
DELETE/api/scenarios/<id>/shareDisable sharing
GET/api/shared/<token>Read scenario data (public, no auth required)
