Share links
Open the same canvas or file in a browser or the Maude desktop app.
Every canvas and previewable file has an address. Press Share… (top right, in the Share cluster) and use Copy link in the link row — or run Copy link from Search (⌘K). For the other forms of the address, open Share › Advanced › Other ways in.
Copy link always copies an address you can send to anyone. When the project is connected to Maude Cloud or a team hub, it copies the web link (https://…), whether you use the Share sheet, a canvas's row menu, the File menu or Search. The web link opens in the browser, and on a Mac with Maude installed the page offers Open in the Mac app. A project that lives only on this Mac has no web address, so Copy link copies the app link instead. The link never carries a sign-in token.
| Link | Where it opens |
|---|---|
| Web link | The project’s Maude Cloud workspace, in a browser. Available when the project is connected to a hub or already open in Maude Cloud. |
| App link | The Maude desktop app, using maude://open/<project>?open=<file>. |
| This Mac only | The running local server. It works only on this computer while Maude is running. |
A web address looks like https://alligators.cloud.maude.sh/?open=ui/Studio.tsx. The open value is relative to the project’s design folder and includes the extension. Spaces and other special characters are encoded automatically. The browser address follows the file you open; Back and Forward return to earlier files.
If you need to sign in, the hub remembers the requested file for ten minutes and returns you there afterward. A link identifies a location; it grants no access. Recipients still need membership in the project — Invite them in the same Share sheet.
App links open a file immediately when its project is already open. For another project, Maude asks before switching to a remembered local folder. If the project is not on this Mac, the dialog offers its web address when Maude Cloud or the project's hub provides one. App links for an unlinked folder are labelled This Mac only.
When a shared file is missing, Maude shows Not here yet. Check that you opened the right project and that the file has synced, then reopen the link.
Around the window
Where everything is in Maude 2 — the project pill and its one menu, Search, the Share cluster, the panels, the toolbars, the Inspector, Diagnostics and Settings — in the words the app uses.

What Maude Cloud can see, what it cannot, who the subprocessors are, and what happens if something goes wrong. Every claim on this page maps to a mechanism you can point at in the source.
