Sharing a Report
Send a report to a developer, show a client, or publish it — and know exactly who can open it.
What You're Trying to Do
A report is only useful once it reaches the person who can act on it. Usually that person doesn't have a GhostClick account: a developer who needs to see the broken step, a client who wants proof the work landed, an agency colleague, or an audience you're publishing a teardown for.
Sharing is one control on the report, with three settings. Pick the one that matches who should be able to open it.
The Three Levels
Private
Only you can open this report.
Anyone with the link
Shareable, but hidden from search engines.
Public
Anyone can open it and search engines may list it.
Private
The default. Only your account can open it. Nobody else can reach it, link or no link. Switching a report back to Private takes any link you handed out offline straight away.
Anyone with the link
This is the everyday one. Copy the link, paste it into Slack or an email, and the person on the other end opens it without signing up for anything. Search engines are told not to index it, so it won't turn up in results — but the link itself is the only lock on it.
Use it for sending a failing run to whoever is going to fix it, showing a client the before and after, or getting a second opinion.
Public
The same open link, except search engines are now allowed to list it, and the public page carries its own per-report title so it reads properly in results. Use it deliberately: a teardown you want people to find, a worked example on your site, a report you're referencing from a post.
Note
Where the Control Is
On a page audit, it's on the report itself. On a journey audit, it's on the friction report — the presentation-style view built for people who don't need the full technical replay. Either way it's the same control and the same three settings, with a Copy link button that appears once the report is shared.
Changing the setting takes effect immediately, and you can change it as many times as you like. A shared report never exposes your account, your billing, or any of your other audits.
What Gets Shared
The report, and nothing around it: the result, the findings, the screenshots and the assessment. The person opening it can't re-run the audit, edit the journey, or see anything else in your account.
