Sharing your app with a link

Sharing & Embedding Updated 05 Oct 2026 44 views

How sharing works

After generating your app, click the Share button. SheetForge stores the rows you share on our UK servers, encrypted at rest, and generates a unique shareable link (e.g. sheetforge.ai/preview/abc123). Anyone with the link can view your app in any browser.

How long shared apps stay up

Free plan shared apps stay up for 30 days. Pro apps stay up while you subscribe. You can delete a shared app at any time, and its data is deleted with it.

Share options

When sharing, you can configure:

  • App name: The title shown at the top of the shared app
  • Password protection: Require a password to open the app - Pro plan
  • IP allowlist: Only allow the app to open from IP addresses you choose - Pro plan
  • Vanity URL: Set a custom slug (e.g. sheetforge.ai/apps/my-app) - Pro plan
  • White label: Remove SheetForge branding - Pro plan
  • Google Analytics: Add your GA4 Measurement ID to track visits
  • Auto-refresh interval: For Google Sheets sources, refresh data every 1, 6, or 24 hours - Pro plan
  • Default filter: Pre-apply a filter rule for all viewers (a convenience, not access control)

Who can edit the shared app?

People who open the normal share link see a read-only app. On Pro, you also get a private edit link for making changes - only give it to people you trust to edit. On the Free plan, shared apps are always read-only.
