Customer Edit Links: Let Clients Update Designs Without Giving Account Access

Share a project-scoped edit link so customers can adjust their own design and submit changes. You can compare, review, and apply revisions safely.

A customer asks, "Can you just let me tweak the image placement and mat size myself?" Usually that means a long back-and-forth: send screenshot, request changes, wait, update, repeat. It slows production and increases mistakes.

With Customer Edit Links, you can share editing access for one specific project, while keeping your account and other projects protected.

What this feature solves

  • Project-only access: The customer can edit only the shared project, not your dashboard or other jobs.
  • Same editor settings: They open the same configured setup you prepared for them.
  • Clear revision ownership: Customer edits are stored separately so you know exactly what they changed.
  • Owner-controlled apply: You review and apply customer revisions when you are ready.
Before
Designer receives change requests in chat: "move photo up", "try different finish", "can we make mat smaller?" Multiple iterations happen manually and version tracking becomes messy.
After
Designer shares a customer edit link. Client updates the project directly and submits changes. Owner compares "You vs Customer" and applies the approved draft in one click.

How the flow works

  • Create a customer edit link from the editor header or share modal.
  • Set link expiry in hours, and optionally add a PIN.
  • Customer opens the link and edits only that project.
  • Customer submits updates; owner sees a pending customer revision state.
  • Owner compares versions and applies customer changes into a new canonical version snapshot.
For security, existing customer URLs are not re-shown after creation. If needed, revoke existing links and generate a fresh one.

Useful scenarios

  • Print proof approvals where clients must confirm exact crop and layout.
  • Framed and metal print jobs where finishing options change late in the process.
  • Batch orders where customers need to update multiple uploaded images before production.
  • Blank project handoff where the customer starts the design and you finalize it later.

Why it is safer than sharing account access

The link is scoped to one project target, can expire automatically, supports PIN protection, and can be revoked any time. Customer mode also hides account actions (login/signup/profile flows) and non-essential owner controls.

You get collaboration speed without opening up your full system.
