Share your project

There are three ways to access an Arcweave project:

• Workspace members have access to all projects in the workspace.
• Workspace guests can access the specific projects they are invited to.
• Project visitors can access a public project via its link—see Make a project public.

Access

For more information on these roles, see the Roles page in the Workspaces section of this documentation.

Workspace member

Workspace members automatically have access to all projects in the workspace, based on their assigned roles and permissions. See Workspace members.

Workspace guest

Users with the Manage memberships permission (by default, workspace owners) can share a project with people outside the workspace by assigning them the role of project commenter or project editor—see Workspace guests > Invite guests.

Project visitor

A project or just its Play Mode can be made public, allowing anyone with the link to access it—see Project visitors.

Share an item or board position

Use Copy link to send someone directly to a board or item in the project's current language. Recipients need access to the project's boards through one of the roles described above. Copying a link does not change project access; Can play only access does not allow someone to open items in the editor.

Copy an item link

1. Open the item's menu using one of the locations below.
2. Select Copy link. Arcweave displays Link copied when the URL is on your clipboard.
3. Paste the link into your message or document.

Item	Where to find Copy link
Board	Right-click the board in the sidebar's Boards section.
Element	Right-click the element on the board or in the sidebar's Boards section.
Jumper, note, or branch	Right-click the item on the board.
Connection	Right-click the connection or its label on the board.
Component	Right-click the component in the sidebar's Components section, open the component's three-dot (•••) header menu, or right-click a component reference attached to an element or included in a Component List attribute.

On the board, Copy link is available when exactly one supported item is selected. If several items are selected, clear the selection first. Folders, unsaved drafts, comments, attributes, and variables do not have a Copy link action.

People with read-only access to the project's boards can also copy links. Editing actions still require the appropriate permissions.

Open a copied link

• An element, jumper, note, or branch link opens its board and centers the item. A jumper link takes you to the jumper itself.
• A connection link opens the connection's area on its board.
• A board link opens that board and restores its saved position and zoom.
• A component link opens the component's dialog, including when copied from an attached reference.

The link selects the language that was active when it was copied, entering Translation Mode for a translation. If that language is no longer available, or the workspace does not support that translation, the link opens without changing the current language.

If the item has been deleted, Arcweave reports that the linked item could not be found.

Share a board position

After a board item link opens, the browser URL contains the board's position and zoom. Copy that URL to share the current view, or refresh to return to the same view. To share the item and current language again, use its Copy link action. A board's Copy link action identifies the board; use the browser URL to share a particular position and zoom.

Share a link from a spreadsheet

You can also copy an Open in Arcweave hyperlink from an XLSX export to send someone to an item or its relevant dialog. Links from single-language exports select the exported language. To preserve that destination and language when sharing, copy the original hyperlink from the spreadsheet.

Make a project public

To enable public link access to your project:

1. Open the project.
2. Click Share in the top menu.
3. In the Share modal, use the dropdown next to Anyone with the link to control public access. Select one of the following options:
   • Can view & play: Grants access to both the project's boards and Play Mode.
   • Can play only: Grants access only to the project's Play Mode.
   • Has no access: Prevents any public access to the project.
4. Click copy link, under Anyone with the link, to copy the project's URL to your clipboard for sharing. With Can play only, the copied URL opens Play Mode.

Only owners and editors can change the public access option.

✅ Users accessing a project through a public link are called project visitors. They do not need an Arcweave account to view or play the project.

Embed Play Mode in HTML

Projects with public Play Mode provide an HTML embed code snippet, enabling the project to be played in its own iframe window on any webpage.

Embed example

The following is a public project created by the Arcweave team:

The code for the above embed is the following:

<iframe
  src="https://arcweave.com/embed/MWEZebKl2g/play"
  style="width: 100%; border: none; border-radius: 25px; aspect-ratio: 4/3;"
  frameborder="0"
  allowfullscreen
>
</iframe>

ℹ️ This code has been customized. See Customize embed code, below.

Copy embed code

To copy a project's embed code:

1. Open the project and click Share in the top menu.
2. Make the project or its Play Mode public.
3. Click Get embed code at the bottom of the Share modal.
4. In the embed dialog, click Copy code.
5. Paste the code from your clipboard into the body of your webpage.

ℹ️ Only the Play Mode of a project can be embedded; the Arcweave project interface cannot.

⚠️ The embed window has a reduced Play Mode menu with Restart, full screen, audio, and language controls; the language menu appears only if the project has more than one language. Other Play Mode features, such as the Debugger, the Style Editor, Edit content, and Share, are not available in the embed window. The embed uses the project's saved custom CSS.

Arcweave watermark

The embed dialog includes a Show Arcweave watermark checkbox.

• In Basic workspaces, the watermark is always shown.
• In Pro and Team workspaces, you can uncheck this option to hide the watermark from embedded Play Mode.

This option is saved with the project and applies to all of its embeds; the embed code does not change.

Customize embed code

The following is the default embed code of a project:

<iframe
  src="https://arcweave.com/embed/MWEZebKl2g/play"
  width="800"
  height="600"
  frameborder="0"
  allowfullscreen
>
</iframe>

Replace MWEZebKl2g with the project's hash, which you can copy from Project Settings > Properties > Project hash.

After pasting the code into your webpage's body, you can customize it as needed:

• Adjust the embed window's dimensions by changing the width and height values.
• Use the style attribute for advanced CSS control.

See the previous embed example for such customization.

ℹ️ The height: 100%; property-value pair works best on host pages that include a parent container with defined dimensions for the embed window, such as Itch.io.

✅ If your page includes a parent container for the embed window, adjust the parent's width and height and the window will expand automatically.

Export as HTML for Itch.io

Some platforms, such as Itch.io, require an HTML file that embeds your game directly in the browser.

Follow the steps below to create a file optimized for embedding Arcweave's Play Mode.

Step 1: Prepare the HTML file

Open any plain-text editor and create a new file.

Paste the template below into the file. (You will replace {HASH} with your actual project hash in the next step.)

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">
  <body style="width: 100%; height: 100%; margin:0;">
    <iframe
      src="https://arcweave.com/embed/{HASH}/play"
      style="width: 100%; height: 100%; border: none;"
      allow="fullscreen"
    ></iframe>
  </body>
</html>

Step 2: Insert your project hash

You can find your project hash in the Settings panel.

1. Click the cog icon on the left side of the top menu.
2. Open the Properties section.
3. Locate Project hash and click the clipboard icon to copy it.

Insert your hash in place of {HASH} within the HTML page created in the previous step.

Step 3: Save as HTML

Save the file with the .html extension.

Step 4: Upload to Itch.io

Upload the HTML file to your Itch.io project page. Your Arcweave game will then load and play directly within the page.
