Sharing a Design

Sharing a design lets you make your content visible to any anonymous visitor of Meshery Catalog and any Meshery Cloud user. Anyone with the link can view the design.

You can share your design with your friends and teams using Extensions. Let’s discuss the process below.

Step 3: Select Share actions on the design

To select actions, hover over your design in the table and choose share.

Step 4: Add email to share with and select access
