# Share a private reading link

Let selected people read the live manuscript without an account, then stop access whenever you choose.

Chapbook manual. Web page: https://chapbook.ink/manual/share-for-feedback/

## Create the link

On Overview, open **Share for feedback**; the first open creates the link. Use **Copy** to share it. The popover shows whether the link is active, its view count, its last viewed time, and **Stop sharing**.

Treat the address as a secret: anyone who has it can read the shared book while it remains active.

## What the reader sees

The link opens a no-sign-in reader with the current title, cover, author, chapters, and inline images. It exposes no notes, sources, project settings, account details, or other books.

There is no feedback form in Chapbook. Arrange comments with the reader outside the app.

## When to use the public page instead

Use **Publish here** when you want a stable public snapshot and email sign-up; use **Share for feedback** for a small group reading the live draft.

## Revoke access

**Stop sharing** invalidates the link. Existing visitors then see **This link is no longer active**. Opening Share for feedback again creates a new address; the revoked one does not start working again.
