The Add to Felt plugin bridges the analytical capabilities of QGIS with Felt's collaboration features, allowing you to share your QGIS projects with colleagues and clients. Simply install the plugin through QGIS's plugin manager, then use it to send your visible layers to Felt where you can control access permissions and invite others to view, comment on, or edit your maps.
