Sharing & releases

Share links

Create a share link from the editor with a viewer or editor role and an optional expiry. Guests don't need an account — they land directly in the editor with your chosen role. Revoking a link cuts access within about five minutes, even mid-session.

Guests see the live document while editing, but their exports come from the published release — drafts stay private until you publish.

Releases

A release is an immutable, semver-numbered snapshot of your diagram:

  1. Click Publish in the editor.
  2. Schemadrop suggests a version bump (major/minor/patch) from the actual schema diff since the last release.
  3. Write a release message and publish.

The published pointer decides which release the public sees. Rolling back just repoints it to an earlier release — nothing is ever deleted or rewritten.

What the public sees

A diagram that has never been published shows nothing publicly. Once published, its release is visible at schemadrop.com/d/<id> and embeddable — see Embeds. The public always sees the published release, never your draft.
