About Shared Views
What's New: 2026.1
Use Shared Views to collaborate online with the people you're working with.
Shared Views
Use Shared Views to collaborate on a visual representation of your model or design online. For example, create a shared view for a customer to request approval or to provide easy access to your field sales team for on-site presentations. Using the link you provide, anyone can view, and comment on, the shared view without needing to have an Autodesk product installed. An email is sent to you when anyone comments on the shared view. You view and reply to comments and manage your shared view directly from your Autodesk product.
About the Shared View
A shared view is an online visual representation of the view of the model or design uploaded from an Autodesk product. The shared view expires by default after 30 days.
When you create a shared view, a pop-up window provides the link (View in browser) to view the shared view in Autodesk Viewer. A Copy link option makes it easy for you to send the link to your collaborators. Your collaborators do not need an Autodesk product. Collaborators can review and post comments directly in Autodesk Viewer.
About the Shared Views list
As the owner, you can use the shared views list to quickly access your shared views, start new comment threads, and reply to comments from your Autodesk product. The shared view list also provides management options, such as extending the expiration date and deleting a shared view.
