Sharing & collaborating ​

There are three ways to let other people see your work: a read-only share link anyone can open, a collaborator you invite to edit alongside you, and publishing — either to the Community or, for an App, to the open web.

Can I share what I make? ​

Yes, and you pick how much access the other person gets:

  • A share link works for any artifact or chat. It's read-only, needs no account, and you can password-protect it, set it to expire, or revoke it.
  • A collaborator is another MotherFluxer account you invite to view or edit the artifact itself.
  • Publishing puts work in front of everyone: posting to the Community makes it browsable by anyone, and an App can additionally be published to its own live web address.

Open the artifact you want to share and click Share (the share icon). Under Link:

  • Optionally type a Password to require it before anyone can view.
  • Optionally set Expires to a time limit, or leave it on Never.
  • Click Create link.

The new link appears in the list. Click it to copy it — you'll see Share link copied — then send it to whoever you want. You can create more than one link for the same artifact (for example, one with a password for a wider audience and one without for a close collaborator).

What the recipient sees ​

When someone opens your link they get a clean, branded, read-only view of the artifact — the same way it looks in the editor, but with no editing tools. If you set a password, they're prompted for it first. They can read or play the artifact and use Download to save a copy. A shared document whose pages carry pictures, shapes, emoji or drawings needs a browser with a supported graphics processor to draw them; in one without it, This artifact can't be opened on this device. stands in the document's place, while a document of words alone shows anywhere.

A shared image shows your edits, exactly as the editor shows them — the text, shapes and drawings you placed on it, its effects and its crop — with every page in order. The file you first uploaded is never handed out. Download saves the edited picture of its first page. Tapping or clicking a picture opens it full size, where they can zoom in with a pinch, the scroll wheel or a double tap, and drag around a zoomed picture to look at the detail.

The view is read-only by design: recipients can look and download, but they can't change your original.

Open a shared item in your own account ​

Anyone viewing your link who has a MotherFluxer account can choose Open in MotherFluxer. This makes them their own private copy of the artifact that they can edit freely. Their copy is independent — editing it never touches your original. If they're not signed in, they're asked to sign in first, then the copy is created automatically.

Point-in-time sharing ​

A share link captures the artifact as it is when someone opens it. A chat link shows the chat up to the moment it's shared — later messages don't leak into a link you already sent. If you want to share newer work, create a fresh link.

To turn off access, open the Share panel, find the link, and revoke it. You'll see Share link revoked, and the link stops working immediately for everyone — opening it afterward shows nothing, with no hint the item ever existed.

Invite a collaborator ​

Collaborating brings another MotherFluxer account into one of your artifacts so you can both work on it. Unlike a share link — which is read-only — a collaborator you give edit access can make changes, and every save either of you makes becomes a saved version the other can see.

Open the artifact, open File and choose Share. Under Collaborate:

  • Enter the Email of the MotherFluxer account you want to invite.
  • Choose Read (they can open it but not change it) or Edit (they can open and change the artifact). Read is the default.
  • Click Send invite.

You'll see Invite sent, and the person gets an email with a link to accept. The email doesn't have to belong to a MotherFluxer account yet — if it doesn't, they sign up with that email and the invite binds to their new account when they accept.

Accept a collaboration invite ​

Open the link in the invitation email and accept it. You need to be signed in with the email the invite was sent to — sign up with that email first if you don't have an account yet. Until you accept, you can't open the artifact; accepting is what unlocks it. Once accepted, you can open it from your shared items just like one of your own.

How shared edits work ​

Collaboration works through saved versions rather than live, simultaneous typing:

  • When a collaborator with edit access saves, their change is recorded as a new version in the artifact's history.
  • Both people see that version the next time they open the artifact, and either can keep building from it.
  • There's no real-time cursor or co-typing — you each work and save, and the history keeps every version so nothing is lost.
  • While someone else has the artifact open in the editor, a small note just under the top bar tells you — for example, alex is editing, named from the first part of their account email. It stays on screen even while a menu is open. It's only a heads-up: nothing is locked.

A save never silently writes over someone else's newer work. If the artifact was changed by someone else while you had it open, the editor tells you it was edited elsewhere and offers Reload to pick up their version — a Video first tries to combine both sets of changes on its own. It's still best to coordinate so you're not both editing the exact same thing at the same moment. To browse and revert between saved versions, use the File menu.

View-only collaborators ​

If you invite someone with Read access, they can open the artifact and follow your saved versions but can't change it. This is useful for a reviewer who should see the latest state without editing. A view-only collaborator can't export it, save their own copy, or attach it to an AI request — each would be a way to take the file out — so to work on it they ask you for edit access.

Roles, ownership, and limits ​

  • The artifact stays yours — collaborating shares access, it doesn't transfer ownership. The whole version history remains under your account.
  • Edit access is full editor use. A collaborator with edit access can do everything in the editor that you can: change it, add tracks, sounds and clips, use AI edits, and export it or replace its file. A view-only collaborator can't, and can't save their own copy either.
  • Some things stay yours alone. Only you can delete the artifact or any of its versions, file it into a project, add it to your gallery, share it (links and invites), publish it to the community, or see what its AI edits cost. A collaborator doesn't see those options.
  • A collaborator pays for their own AI edits. An AI edit a collaborator runs on your artifact uses their credits, not yours — the result still lands in your artifact's history.
  • Files a collaborator adds count toward your storage, because they become part of your artifact. If your storage is full, their upload is refused with Owner's storage is full — free some space to let them continue.
  • Collaboration is available for artifacts (images, videos, audio, documents, 3D, and Apps). Chats can be shared with a read-only link instead.
  • Apps split access further. An App has things only its owner can do — making it live, spending money on it, its money page, and its secrets — so an App collaborator gets the build surface and nothing beyond the draft.

Stop collaborating ​

You can remove a collaborator at any time from the Share panel — you'll see Collaboration revoked, and they lose access immediately. A collaborator can also leave on their own from their shared items. Removing access doesn't delete any versions that were already saved.

Sharing vs. collaborating vs. publishing ​

Three different ways to let other people see your work:

  • A share link is read-only and works for anyone, signed in or not. Use it to show finished work.
  • Collaborating invites another account holder to edit the same artifact with you.
  • Publishing to the Community makes an artifact public for everyone to browse, like, and discover.
