# Share Link - 24 Hours

More, Better, Faster Collaboration

The **Share Link** feature allows you to invite dental professionals — whether or not they have a Smilecloud account — to **collaborate on a case for a limited time (24 hours)** as guests.

## How Does It Work?

### **✅ Generate and Share the Invitation**

When you invite a dental professional to a case:

-   A **Team-Up invitation** and a **unique guest link** are created.

You can choose to:

-   Send the invite via **email**, or
-   **Copy the link** and share it via any messaging or social platform.

### **✅ Accessing the Case as an Invitee**

When the invitee clicks on the shared link, they will land on a page offering two options, depending on their Smilecloud account status:

-   If the invitee **has a Smilecloud account**: They can click **“Login”** to join the case using their existing account.
-   Or, they may choose to join **as a guest** by following the instructions at the top of the page.

#### If the invitee **does not have a Smilecloud account**:

-   They can create one by clicking **“Create my own account”** to join as a regular user.
-   Or, they may choose to join **as a guest**, using the guest instructions provided.

### **✅ Verifying Guest Access**

If the invitee chooses **Guest Access**: They must click **“Send verification code.”**

-   A **One-Time Password (OTP)** will be sent to their email (valid for 5 minutes).
-   After entering the OTP, they will be granted access to the case.

> Once verified, the guest is redirected directly to the case they were invited to.

## **🎯**What Can Guests Do?

Guests have access to most collaboration tools — with a few limitations:

🚫 **Guests cannot:**

-   Invite other dentists to the case
-   Remove case team members (except themselves)
-   Delete documentation files or galleries
-   Create or delete projects
-   Modify patient-related information
-   View or change subscription-related details
-   Access any other cases they may have been invited to previously

## **🎯**Guest Statuses in the Case Team List

Guests are listed in the **Case Team** section with one of the following statuses:

-   **Pending** – Invitation sent but not yet accepted

*Tip:* Hover over the status to copy and resend the invite link.

-   **Active** – The guest has accepted the invite and currently has access

*Tip:* Hover to see how much time remains from their 24-hour access period.

-   **Expired** – The 24-hour guest access window has ended. The guest no longer has access to the case.

*Tip:* Generate a new link if you need the guest to join the case again.

## **🎯**Summary

The Share Link feature is a fast, flexible way to collaborate with peers — even those outside the Smilecloud ecosystem. It’s designed to maintain security and privacy while allowing powerful short-term teamwork on a case.
