Sharing & hosting
Share links for private sites, and a ZIP download for every version
26 September 2026 · 3 min read
Two things changed in the dashboard. Password-protected Pro sites can now give each visitor their own link past the password, and every version of a site that we still keep has a Download link that returns its files as a ZIP.
One link per visitor instead of one shared password
Protecting a Pro site used to mean one password that everyone shared. That's fine until one person shouldn't have access anymore. Then you change the password and tell everyone else the new one.
Share links work differently. In the password protection card on a site's dashboard, you create a link for one visitor, add a label so you remember who has it, and set an expiry if you want one. Anyone who opens the link gets in without typing the password.
You can see every link you've made and revoke them one at a time. Revoking a link also signs out anyone who came in through it, so it takes effect immediately instead of whenever their session would have ended.
If you switch the password off, or move the site back to Free, every share link on it is revoked. Turning the password back on later does not bring old links back, so make new ones.
What happens when someone opens a link
The link swaps its token for a session, then sends the visitor to the normal address of your site. The token doesn't stay in the address bar, and it isn't passed along to other sites the visitor clicks through to. If you set an expiry, the session ends at that time too.
A share link only gets someone past the password. It doesn't give them access to your account or the dashboard.
Links are shown once
When you create a link, the full URL appears one time. We store only a hash of the token, so we can't show it to you again. If you lose a link, create a new one and revoke the old one. Attempts to guess links are rate limited.
Download any version as a ZIP
Each row in a site's version table now has a Download link. For a full site, you get every file in that version. For a microsite, you get the page as a single index.html.
Free and Pro accounts can both download, one at a time and up to 30 an hour per account. Versions over 100 MB are too large to download from the dashboard, so write to [email protected] and we will send them to you. You can only download versions that still exist. Free full sites keep the latest 3 versions and Pro full sites keep the latest 10, and older versions are deleted, so download the one you want to keep before it rolls off.
If you built a site with an AI tool and no longer have the original files, this is one way to get them back.
Key takeaways
- ✓Password-protected Pro sites can create one share link per visitor, with an optional expiry, and revoke each one on its own.
- ✓Revoking a link signs out everyone who used it.
- ✓Switching the password off revokes every share link on the site.
- ✓Every version we still keep can be downloaded as a ZIP, on Free and Pro.
Frequently asked questions
Do share links work on Free sites or microsites?
No. Share links sit on top of password protection, and that's a Pro feature. Free full sites and microsites don't have the password gate.
What happens to someone who's already inside when I revoke their link?
They're signed out. Revoking a link ends every session that came in through it.
Can I get a share link back if I lose it?
No. The full link is shown once and we keep only a hash of its token. Create a new link and revoke the old one.
Can I download a version that's been pruned?
No. Free full sites keep the latest 3 versions and Pro full sites keep the latest 10. Older versions are deleted, so download the ones you want to keep.
What happens to my share links if I turn the password off?
They are all revoked, and anyone who came in through one is signed out. If you turn the password back on, create new links.
Is there a limit on downloads?
Yes. One download at a time, up to 30 per hour per account, and each version must be 100 MB or less. For a larger version, write to [email protected].
