[Your Name]Revoking Access
To revoke a public link:
- Go to project Settings
- Click Revoke Link
- Generate a new link if needed
Revoking a link immediately invalidates it. Anyone with the old link won't be able to access it.
Security
Public links are:
- Unique per project - Each project has its own link
- Revocable - Disable anytime
- Rate limited - Prevents spam
- Domain restricted - Only works on allowed domains
Best Practices
- Share responsibly - Only with people who need access
- Set expiration - Use time-limited links for projects
- Revoke when done - Remove access after project completion
- Require contact info - For client feedback you need to follow up on
Widget Integration
Load the widget with public link mode:
<script
src="https://cdn.annot8.app/widget.js"
data-project-id="pj_xxx"
data-public-slug="abc123"
async
></script>This enables anonymous users to leave feedback directly on your site.
