Sharing lets you invite collaborators to your Bolt project and control the level of access they have. You can give collaborators view-only access, let them edit and prompt, or invite them to own the project with you. Sharing is available on paid plans. Once you’ve invited collaborators, see Collaborate with others to learn about working together in real time and sharing integrations.

​
Access by role

By default, you’re the owner of any project you create. Assign collaborators a role that matches the level of access you want them to have. The Co-owner role is only available to other members of your team. If you’re on a Teams plan and invite members outside your team, or if you’re on a personal plan, only the Viewer and Editor roles are available.

Environment variables are values your project uses to store sensitive information, like API keys and authentication tokens, without exposing them in your code. To keep your project secure, Bolt only allows Editors and Co-owners to view environment variables.If a project relies on environment variables, parts of it may not load or work as expected for Viewers, because there’s no way to run the project in the browser while keeping those values hidden. In that case, Viewers see this message: You have view-only access to this project. Environment variables aren't available in view-only mode, so some features may not work.

Share your project on a Teams plan

When you’re part of a team, you can manage access separately for:
  • Your entire team (options are No access, Viewer, Editor, or Co-owner)
  • Individual members of your team (options are Viewer, Editor, or Co-owner)
  • Invited collaborators who aren’t members of your team (options are Viewer or Editor)
  • Anyone else with the link (options are No access, Viewer, or Editor)
Inviting collaborators outside your team requires external sharing to be turned on in your team settings. If you’re a team admin, you can manage this in your Team settings.

  2. In the upper-right corner of the screen, click Share.
  3. Under Project Access, set the following permissions:
    • To define team access, find your team name, then select the level of access you want to give your team. Unless you change it, this is set to the default member role defined in your project settings, which is Viewer by default.
    • To define general access, set Anyone else with the link to the level of access you want to give other collaborators.
Only set Anyone else with the link to Editor if you really want to let anyone with the link make changes to your project.
  1. Click Copy link, then share the link with anyone you want to invite.
Team members are automatically assigned the access level you select in step 3. You don’t need to send them the link.

Inviting collaborators by email lets you share with people outside your team or give specific team members a different access level than the rest of the team.
