How public links work
A public link opens a read-only page with no sign-in. The link itself is the only key: it has no password and no expiry, and it works for anyone it is forwarded to. Share it the way you would share the document itself.
The page always shows the current content. Edit the requirement or document and the link shows the change.
Links you can share

| Document Overview | Documents list: the title or Views > Overview | Summary of the document and its requirements |
| Business Documentation | Documents list, Views menu | Business description of each requirement |

| Database view | Database Views list, the eye icon | Description, columns and SQL of the view |
What the trace link leaves out
The public trace page omits who recorded it, capture-quality warnings, the field-masking flag and where the trace is used. Screenshots are included as captured, so check them for anything you would not send to the recipient.
Stop sharing
There is no setting to turn off or rotate a public link. Treat every link you send as permanent.
