# Share Links
> Share read-only scorecard links with your hiring team — no account required
Share links let you send a live, read-only view of any scorecard to colleagues, hiring managers, or anyone involved in the interview process. Recipients open the link in their browser and see the full scorecard instantly — no Waffle account needed.
## When to Use Share Links
* You want someone to **view** a scorecard without downloading a file
* Multiple people need access and you don't want to manage separate PDF copies
* You want to **control access** with expiration dates or revoke the link later
* You need to share quickly during a live hiring discussion
## Creating a Share Link
Navigate to the scorecard you want to share, either from your library or directly after generation in chat.
Click the **Share** button on the scorecard. This opens the share dialog where you can configure the link.
Choose how long the link stays active:
* **7 days** — for time-sensitive roles or quick reviews
* **30 days** — the default, good for most hiring cycles
* **90 days** — for longer searches
* **Never** — the link stays active until you revoke it
Enable **Allow PDF Export** if you want recipients to be able to download a PDF copy directly from the share page.
Click **Create Link**, then copy the generated URL. Send it via email, Slack, or wherever your team communicates.
## What Recipients See
Anyone who opens a share link sees a clean, read-only view of the scorecard containing:
* **Role and company** — job title, company name, and interview type
* **EEOC compliance notes** — guidance for fair and legal interviewing
* **Competencies** — each competency with its importance weight and selection rationale
* **Interview questions** — primary questions with follow-up probes and assessment direction
* **Rating rubrics** — behavioral anchors for Strong Hire, Hire, No Hire, and Strong No Hire
* **Red flags** — warning signs to watch for during candidate responses
If PDF export is enabled on the link, a **Download PDF** button appears at the top of the page.
Recipients do not need a Waffle account. The share page is fully public to anyone with the link.
## Managing Active Links
You can create multiple share links for the same scorecard, each with different settings. The Share dialog shows all active links with their status, expiration, and whether PDF export is enabled.
To **revoke** a link, click the trash icon next to it in the Active Links list. Revoked links immediately return a "Link Not Found" message to anyone who tries to open them.
Revoking a link is permanent. You cannot reactivate a revoked link — create a new one instead.
## Expiration and Security
Share links use a unique 12-character token in the URL. There is no way to guess or enumerate valid tokens.
When a link expires, visitors see a "Link Expired" message with the original creation date. Expired links cannot be reactivated — create a new link if you need to share again.
Use short expiration windows (7 days) for sensitive roles. You can always create a new link if the hiring timeline extends.
## Share Links vs. PDF Export
| | Share link | PDF export |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| **Best for** | Ongoing collaboration, quick access | Offline use, printing, archival |
| **Account required** | No | No |
| **Always up to date** | Yes — shows current scorecard | No — snapshot at time of export |
| **Access control** | Expiration + revocation | None once downloaded |
| **PDF download** | Optional (toggle per link) | Always |
| **Works offline** | No | Yes |
Use share links when your team needs a single source of truth that you can revoke later. Use PDF export when you need a permanent offline copy or a printable scoring sheet for live interviews.
