The short version

Clients can join a Hub as `Viewer`, `Commenter`, or `Editor` guests, or open a public `Share to web` link without an account. Guest access follows the assigned Hub role; a public link exposes only the shared item.

Clients can access Visualist through a Hub guest invitation or a public Share to web link. These routes have different scopes.

Hub guest access

Invite a client to a Hub as a Viewer, Commenter, or Editor when they need role-based access to the project. They accept the invitation, sign in, and can use the Hub according to that role.

Public item access

Turn on Share to web for a design or other supported item when the client only needs that public page. They open the link without a Visualist account. The public link exposes the shared item and does not reveal the rest of the Hub.

Good to know

Choose a Hub guest invitation for role-based project access. Choose Share to web for an account-free public item page. See How do I share a design with a client?.

Keeping it that way

To manage Hub guest roles and public item links, see How do I control who can see a Hub?.
