Snapshots and sharing

Share a clear project update without sharing your workspace

A useful update needs context, not a live tour through every internal detail. Hillchart snapshots preserve the state of the hill at a meaningful moment, while view-only links let other people see progress without an account.

Capture milestones deliberately

Take a snapshot when a decision, demo, or cycle checkpoint matters. Add a label and cycle summary so the chart is accompanied by the reason the moment is worth remembering.

Snapshots create a useful record without requiring a new entry for every scope movement.

Create a view-only client link

Generate a share link for people who need visibility but do not need editing access. The shared view keeps the focus on the hill and its update, and recipients can open it without creating an account.

  • Use a snapshot for a stable checkpoint
  • Share progress with clients or leadership
  • Keep editing inside your project workspace

Bring the chart into existing documentation

Hillchart also supports embeds for tools that accept an iframe, such as team wikis. Use a link for a focused update or an embed when the chart belongs alongside the rest of your project context.
