Sharing a link
A link anyone can open to watch an animation play on its real markup and copy its code in all three dialects, without an account and without editing anything. It's a snapshot: what you shared is what they see.
- Making one
- ⌘K “Share a link”, or the share button beside Save. A link belongs to an animation in your library, so it needs an account and a saved animation. It shows the stage as it is when you press it. Sharing the same animation again updates what the link shows and keeps its address.
- What travels
- The animation, and what each pasted component rendered on your stage (its elements, text and classes), with the export generated from the same document. Your component’s code doesn’t run on a shared page; the page rebuilds what the editor rendered.
- What doesn’t
- Images. A shared page loads no picture, video or font from anywhere, so every image shows as a placeholder of its own size, and a background image shows nothing. A component’s own
<style>element stays behind too, though its classes and inline styles travel. Edits after you share reach the link when you share again. - Who can see it
- Anyone with the address. It can’t be guessed, and it’s kept out of search engines. There’s no list of links to browse. It works on a phone, unlike the editor.
- Turning it off
- In the share dialog, or on the animation’s card in your library: Stop sharing. The address then reads as not found, for good, and sharing again makes a new one. Deleting the animation turns its link off too.
- Reporting one
- Every shared page has a Report link. A report goes to the people who run verve, not to whoever shared it, and needs no account. Each person can have up to 50 live links.
