# How do I share an email with someone outside Slashy?

> Share a conversation as a read-only web link that anyone can open, invite people by email, collect comments, and turn the link off.

A shared link turns one conversation into a read-only web page. Anyone with the link can read it, even without a Slashy account, which makes it the fastest way to show a thread to a lawyer, an advisor, or a client. The page stays live: new messages in the conversation appear on it until sharing stops.

## Share a conversation

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the conversation">
    Open the thread you want to share.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the share dialog">
    Press `Cmd+K` and choose **Share this email by link**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy the link or invite people">
    Click **Copy link** to grab the address and paste it anywhere. Or pick people from your contacts, or search by name or email, and click **Share with** to email each of them the link.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Copying the link the first time turns sharing on for that conversation. People you invite are notified about new messages and comments. Contacts who already have the link show **Has the link**.

<Note>Anyone who holds the link can read the conversation, including attachments. Share it only with people you trust, and stop sharing when you are done.</Note>

## What people see

Viewers open a clean page with every message in the thread, who sent it, and who shared it. They do not need an account to read.

To comment, a viewer signs in with Google. Comments appear in your reading pane under **Comments on the web**, separate from your team's internal [comments](/features/email/comments-and-mentions), which never leave Slashy. Reply from that panel, react with an emoji, or type `@` to mention someone on the conversation.

## See what you have shared

A conversation with a live link shows **Shared by link** under its subject, and a link icon next to it in your inbox list. Click **Shared by link** to reopen the share dialog.

## Stop sharing

Turn a link off from the Slashy mobile app: open the conversation, open thread actions, and tap **Stop sharing**. The link stops working right away for everyone who has it, and visitors see "This link is not available." Tap **Share link** in the same panel to share the conversation again with a link you can send through your phone's share sheet.

## Team control

Team owners and admins can turn sharing off for everyone on the team in **Settings > Team** with the **Share emails by link** toggle. When it is off, members see a message that the team turned off public links. See [Team management](/features/settings/team).
