# Share links (https://dev.tradieforms.com.au/docs/features/share-links)

Share links let you send a completed PDF or ask someone to sign a form without giving them access to your Tradie Forms account.

They are available on paid plans. Every link expires, and you can revoke it whenever you need.

> **Warning**
>
> Anyone with a completed-PDF link can view that PDF. Check the recipient and the finished form before you copy the link.

## Share a completed PDF [#share-a-completed-pdf]

### Open Share link [#open-share-link]

Download the finished form, then select **Share link** on the PDF-ready screen. You can also open the form in [**Completed**](https://tradieforms.com.au/app/completed) and choose **Share link** from its actions.

### Set the access [#set-the-access]

Choose an expiry of 1, 3, 7, or 14 days. Turn on **Password** when the recipient should need a password as well as the link.

### Send the link [#send-the-link]

Create the link, copy it, and send it through your usual channel.

The recipient can open the finished PDF in their browser. They cannot edit the PDF through the link.

## Request a signature [#request-a-signature]

Use this when you need someone else to sign an empty signature field on a cloud-saved draft.

### Save the draft [#save-the-draft]

Start the form while signed in on a paid plan, then let it save as a cloud draft.

### Create the signature request [#create-the-signature-request]

Select **Share link** on the empty signature field. Set the expiry and optional password, then copy the link.

### Ask the recipient to sign [#ask-the-recipient-to-sign]

The signer checks the form details, enters their name, adds a signature, and selects **Submit signature**.

### Check the returned signature [#check-the-returned-signature]

Return to the draft, check the signer name and signature, then finish your normal review and PDF preview.

The recipient can draw, type, or upload their signature. They only sign the requested field. If you change the draft after sending the link, create a new request before relying on the signature.

## Manage or revoke a link [#manage-or-revoke-a-link]

Open [**Settings -> Share links**](https://tradieforms.com.au/app/settings/share-links) to see active and past links for the current personal or team workspace. You can copy an active link, check its expiry and view count, or revoke it.

Revoking a link stops access straight away. A revoked or expired link cannot be reopened. Create a new one if you still need to share the form or request a signature.

## Use links carefully [#use-links-carefully]

- Send links only to people who should see the form
- Use a password for sensitive paperwork and share it separately
- Set the shortest expiry that suits the job
- Revoke the link if it was sent to the wrong person or is no longer needed
- Check the completed PDF and any returned signature before you issue, lodge, or hand over the form
