How do I share a board, and who can see it?

Copy a board's link or send it by email, and learn who can review it and how to add a password.

A feedback board has one link. Anyone with the link can open the board and review it, unless you add a password. This page covers how to share the link, send it by email, protect the board with a password, and who can see what.

Share the link

Open the board, click Share in the title row, and copy the link in the Link section. Send that link to the reviewer. On the Feedback page, the Share button on a board's card opens the same link.

Share by email

Share by email is for signed-in team members. In the Share popover, add email addresses under Share by email and click Send. Tarkle emails each address and saves it as a contact in your workspace, on the Contacts page. One send uses up to 100 addresses, and sending needs permission to create and share files. Reviewers who are not on your team do not see this section, so they use the link.

Protect the board with a password

Only the board's owner and team members with permission to edit files see the password item. Open the three-dot menu in the board's title row, then click Add password. Type the password in the box and click Save. From then on, a visitor who opens the link enters the password once and stays in for 30 days. Team members are never asked for it.

To remove the password, open the same menu and click Disable password. It takes effect at once, with no confirmation. To change it, disable the password and add a new one. Visitors who had entered the old password must enter the new one.

Custom address

On plans that include custom links, the menu of a board's card on the Feedback page has a Customize URL item. Click the More actions button on the card, then click Customize URL. Pro and Agency include it, and Free does not. See pricing for each plan.

In the client portal

A contact with a portal login sees each board linked to them under Portal → Feedback, with one status for each: Action required, Waiting for reply, No feedback yet or Resolved. Archived boards and boards past their expiry date are not listed. Team-only replies are never shown to a contact. For how contacts use the portal, read Feedback in the client portal.

Who can see a board

  • Anyone with the link can open a board without a password and see its files and comments.

  • Everyone who can open the board sees the name and email address of each person who commented. Team-only replies are shown to team members only.

  • Search engines do not index the board page.

  • In a chat app, the link preview shows the board's title and "Feedback". A board with a password shows "Feedback requested" and your workspace name instead.

Note: the link is the only key to the board. For sensitive work, add a password before you share it.
