Sharing via Reader link

The Reader is Ellipsus’ dedicated sharing mode for your readers. Unlike sharing with collaborators or view-only links, Reader links are designed for safely sharing finished or share-ready work with your audience (without granting collaboration/edit access).

If you’ve previously shared work using public view-only links, those links will automatically redirect to a new Reader link. Existing bookmarks and favorites will continue to work—readers won’t encounter broken or expired pages/404s.

With the Reader, you can:

• Share a Reader link from the Share & export panel (with preview access anytime).

• Set access levels:

  • Public: Anyone with the link can read.

  • Partial: Collaborators only.

  • Private: Owner only (just you).

• Choose whether your text can be copied, or not.

• Decide whether readers can interact by giving Props (applause) to show their love (as many times as they'd like).

• Set your theme of choice, or allow readers to choose their own theme.

• Readers can see estimated reading time, and use an accessible font.

What happens to old public links?

If you’ve shared a public link before, no problem—older public links will safely redirect to the new Reader view. (You can opt out of the new format if you'd like.)

Nothing private will become public, and your collaborator permissions will stay exactly as they are.
