Sharing with Stakeholders
External Sharing Made Simple
Not everyone involved in a project needs a full Plotstuff account. Clients, architects, consultants, and other external stakeholders often just need to review progress, approve designs, or verify installations. Plotstuff makes this easy with shareable flow links.
When you create an approval, installation, or inspection flow, Plotstuff generates a unique URL. Anyone with this link can access the flow's review interface — no login required. This removes friction from the review process and makes it easy for stakeholders to participate regardless of their technical setup.
How to Share with Stakeholders
- 1
Create a flow (Approval, Installation, or Inspection) from the Flows panel.
- 2
Click the link icon on the flow card to copy the shareable URL.
- 3
Send the URL to your stakeholders via email, messaging, or any other channel.
- 4
Stakeholders open the link in their browser and can immediately begin reviewing.
- 5
Monitor responses from the Project Flows panel as they come in.
Shareable links are flow-specific, not project-wide. Each link gives access only to the specific flow you shared. Stakeholders cannot see other flows, project settings, or any data outside the shared flow's scope.
What Stakeholders See
The external review interface is a clean, focused view of the flow. Stakeholders can navigate between floorplans, zoom in and out, and click on individual assets to see their details. Depending on the flow's display settings, they may also see SVG artwork previews, asset photos, and custom field data.
The review interface is fully responsive and works on desktop, tablet, and mobile. Stakeholders do not need to install any software — everything runs in their web browser.
Include a brief message explaining what you need from the reviewer when you send the link. For approval flows, let them know which floors to focus on. For inspections, tell them what to look for.
