Sharing Items with Others
If you created your account after September 14, 2022, you'll need to attach a credit card to get access to this feature.
You don't need to invite someone to your account in order to share something with them! Anything can be shared directly with anyone else, whether they're in the Basecamp account or not.
By default, everything is locked down — only people with access to a Project can see what's in it. But occasionally, you need to send something to someone who’s not part of a Project, or show someone something specific when you don’t want them to see the rest of the project. Super simple in Basecamp 4!
Just click the ••• button for the item you want to share and choose how you want to share it:
You can share it with someone outside the Project, or just bring it to the attention of someone else in the Project (ideal for when you want to point out the item's existence, without adding a comment or assigning a task):
If you have a Project with a Client set up, you'll also see the option to share the item with the Client.
To share it with someone outside of the project, click the Get a public link option, then the Generate a shareable, public link button:
Copy that link, and text/email/carrier pigeon it to whoever needs to see it! You can click the View a preview button to see what they'll see, or the Disable this link button to revoke public access to the page, and the URL won't work anymore.
The owners of the account can view everything in the account that has been publicly linked, unpublish individual items, and even unpublish everything at once from Adminland:
