Share a map
Share a Felt map by email or public link. Give invited people View, Contribute, or Edit access.
Click Share at the top right of a Felt map to invite people or turn on public link access. Anyone who can open the map can click Copy link.
Share menu
The Share menu on a Felt map lets you invite people by email, set public link access, copy the map's link with Copy link, or embed the map with Embed.
Invite people by email
Click Share at the top right of the map.
In Emails, enter one or more email addresses.
Select an access level: View, Contribute, or Edit.
Click Invite. Felt emails each person a link to the map.
View
Open the map, use the legend and tools, and comment
Contribute
Everything in View, plus add and edit features and draw annotations
Edit
Everything in Contribute, plus add and style layers, upload data, and share the map
People with Contribute or Edit access need a seat. People with View access don't. See Seats and viewers and Permissions.
Invited people log in, or sign up for a free Felt account, with the email address you invited.
To change or remove someone's access, open the Share menu, click the access level next to their name, and select a new level or Remove.
Set public link access
Public link access controls what people can do without an invitation. It doesn't reduce any access they already have through an invitation, project, or workspace. You need Edit access to change it.
Click Share at the top right of the map.
Click the Public access selector.
Select None, View, or View and comment.
None
Only people invited to the map, or with access through its project or workspace
View
Anyone with the link, without logging in
View and comment
Anyone with the link, without logging in. Logged-in people can also comment.
With View or View and comment, anyone with the link can open the map, including anyone who receives a forwarded link. Search engines can find a map whose link is posted publicly. Set public link access to None for maps only invited people should see.
To check what people with the link see, open it in a private browser window.
Let anyone with the link comment or edit
Public link access has no edit option. With View and comment, people with the link can comment but not edit.
To let anyone with the link comment, set public link access to View and comment. People need a free Felt account to post. A comment marks a place on the map; it doesn't draw a shape. See Comments.
To let people add features, draw annotations, or edit layers, invite each person by email with Contribute or Edit access. Both access levels need a seat. See Invite people by email.
Share with your workspace
To share maps with your workspace, move them into a project. Everyone with access to the project can open its maps. People who get access through the workspace can do no more than the project's default access allows. See Organize maps.
Link to a feature or view
A Felt feature link takes people to a specific feature on the map and opens its popup.
Click the feature on the map to open its popup.
In the popup, open the ··· menu.
Click Copy link to feature.
Copy link in the Share menu saves your current view in the link. To set the view a map opens to, or share a link to a specific view, see Set the default view.
Troubleshooting
A person can't open a map you shared
Invite the email address the person uses to log in to Felt.
For people you didn't invite, set public link access to View or View and comment.
If the workspace has used all its map views for the month, people outside the workspace see Map view limit reached. See Plan usage.
Map shows "This browser or computer isn't supported"
The browser or device can't run WebGL. See System requirements to turn WebGL on or find a supported browser.
A feature link shows "The feature was not found in layer"
The link points to a feature that's no longer in the layer. The feature was deleted, or the layer's data was replaced, for example with Upload new version, which can give features new IDs. Copy a fresh link from the feature's popup.
