Share links
A share link is the quickest way to show someone a song: they open it in a browser, play it and look at every pane, with no app and no account. Nobody can change your song through a link. To let people edit with you, invite them instead: see Shared songs.
Share links
Available on every platform.
Making a link
A link is made for a song in Stab Cloud (Songs in Stab Cloud) that you own.
- Choose Share… from the File menu or the home › cloud songthe Session menu or the home › song ⋯, or click the Share pill in the title bar. Share opens.
- Under Links, choose + View Link… (on a song shared with nobody yet, the View Link… tile).
- Type a label if you like (“Band”, “Teacher”): it’s how you’ll tell your links apart. Choose Make a Link.
- Copy the link and send it. Copy it now: it’s shown once, as Stab Cloud keeps only a fingerprint of it.
The free plan has 3 links at a time; Stab Cloud has 200. At the limit, turn one off first.
What a link opens
The link opens the song in Stab on the web, read-only: it plays, every pane is there, and nothing changes. It always opens the song’s latest version. The page says who shared it.
Someone signed in to Stab Cloud can keep a copy of their own with Duplicate to My Songs: it becomes one of their songs, theirs to edit. Signed out, they’re asked to sign in first, and the copy is made as soon as they are. Whether a link offers a copy follows the song’s Members can make copies switch, in Share, at the time the link is made; with it off, the page says “Its owner keeps it in Stab: no copies”.
Your links
Share’s Links shows each of the song’s links as a card, with its label and whether it has been opened yet, or has expired. Turn Off stops a link at once: opening it then says “This link doesn’t open anything: it may have been revoked, or have expired.”
Who can make links
Share links, like everything in Stab Cloud, are for people 15 and over (Your age). Someone a song is shared with sees its Share but not its Links: links are its owner’s.
