Sharing

The Sharing feature in Alkemion Studio allows you to share your Module with others in a read-only format. This ensures that your content remains untouched while still allowing others to explore your work. More advanced sharing permissions will be added later on.

To access sharing options, click the “Share” button located in the Board’s toolbar. This will open the “Share” window, where you can customize the sharing settings.

Generating a Shareable Link

Once the “Share” window is open, it will either display the active shareable link if it exists, or you’ll see a message inviting you to create one.

To generate a shareable link:

1. Click the “Generate a link” button.
2. A URL link will be provided that you can copy and share with anyone. This link allows recipients to open a read-only version of your Module.

Sharing Settings

Under the “Generate a link” button, you will find the “Sharing settings” section, which provides additional customization options. Currently, there is a checkbox option:

Share and enable Random Tables: When selected, this allows users who open the shared Board to roll any Random Nodes and view Random Tables linked to the Module. The Board remains read-only, so results from rolls will not be saved when the shared Board is reloaded.

Important Note: Once a link is generated, the sharing settings cannot be modified. If you wish to change these settings, you will need to generate a new link, which will invalidate the previous one.

Experience of Viewing a Shared Board

A shared Board is displayed exactly as it was at the time of its last save, including the camera position and zoom level. This ensures that the viewer’s first impression aligns with your intended presentation.

The shared Board features the same user interface as a regular Board but with restricted functionality. Viewers can navigate the Board and read the content of the Nodes but cannot make any modifications. If the “Share and enable Random Tables” option was activated, viewers can interact with Random Tables by rolling them; however, any results generated will not be retained upon refreshing or revisiting the link.

This straightforward sharing capability makes it easy to share session recaps or worldbuilding lore with other players, collaborate with others for feedback, or simply showcase and share your creative ideas with friends and fellow RPG enthusiasts. Future updates will introduce more nuanced permissions to allow for even greater flexibility and control when sharing your Modules.
