Send a project's link to a colleague

Who can do this

Anyone who may share the project, which is owners, administrators, the branch's manager and the project's lead. Every plan.

Open in GISweaver

Send a colleague straight to a project they already hold a role on.

  1. Open Projects and choose the project. The project opens.
  2. Select ⋯ in the page's header. A menu opens.
  3. Choose Send the link to a colleague. The choices Copy link, Share by email and Share on WhatsApp appear.
  4. Choose Copy link. The link is copied, ready to paste.

Send it by email

  1. Choose Share by email in step 3. At a desk, a short menu opens with Your email app, Gmail, Outlook and Copy message; on a phone, the phone's own share sheet opens.
  2. Choose where to send it. Your email opens with the message ready.

Send it on WhatsApp

  1. Choose Share on WhatsApp in step 3. WhatsApp opens with the message ready.

What happens next

The link grants nothing on its own: your colleague signs in to your organisation to open it, and needs a role on the project.

If something goes wrong

  • No email opened? A computer with no mail program set up opens nothing. Choose Gmail, Outlook or Copy message from the line that appears; the message is copied as well, so you can paste it into any email.
  • Your colleague sees You have not been given access to this project: they hold no role on it yet. See Give a colleague access to a project.
  • They see There is no such project: the link is mistyped, the project was deleted, or it belongs to an organisation they are not a member of.
