Security Options

Password Protection

Add a password to protect your estimate from unauthorized access.

How to use:

  1. Check the Password Protection box
  2. Enter a password (at least 4 characters)
  3. Click the eye icon to show/hide your password
  4. Share the password separately from the link (by phone, text, or separate email)

Expiration Date

Make your share link expire automatically after a certain time.

Quick options:

  • 1 hour - For immediate review
  • 1 day - Short-term access
  • 1 week - Standard estimate delivery

If you don't set an expiration, the link will work forever and it will be a public link. You'll see a yellow warning when creating a permanent link. Once you created a permanent link, you cannot add expiring links to the same estimate later.

View Limit

Limit how many times people can view your estimate.

When to use:

  • Controlling who can access the estimate
  • Tracking how many times it's been viewed
  • Preventing unlimited sharing

How to use:

  1. Check the Limit Views box
  2. Enter the maximum number of views (1 to 10,000)
  3. The link stops working once it reaches this limit

Managing Your Shares

View and manage all your share links in one place.

View All Shares

  1. Open your estimate
  2. Click the Manage Shares button at the top right
  3. See all your active and inactive shares

Understanding Share Status

Each share shows its current status:

  • Active - Link is working
  • Expired - Past the expiration date
  • View Limit Reached - Maximum views used up
  • Revoked - Manually disabled

You'll also see:

  • Public badge - No expiration (permanent link)
  • Protected badge - Password required

What You Can See

For each share link:

  • Who created it and when
  • Expiration date (or "Never")
  • How many times it's been viewed
  • When it was last viewed
  • The share URL (for active links)
  1. Find the share you want to copy
  2. Click the copy icon next to the URL

  4. Paste and share the link

Organization owners can delete any share link:

Once deleted, the link stops working immediately and can't be restored.
