There are three independent ways someone reaches one of your drafts: they are a member of its workspace, they have a published link, or they hold an agent link. Each works independently, and sharing a link is separate from workspace membership. This page covers links; Workspaces & roles covers membership.
Publish a read-only page
Open the Share controls on a draft. Under Publish to the web, select Publish. Ramble gives you a link to a clean, read-only page. Anyone with the link can read the draft with no account and no sign-in. They cannot edit it, and they do not join the live editing session.
To stop sharing, unpublish the draft. The link stops working at once.
This is sharing by link, not publishing in the blog sense. There is no audience, feed, or custom domain, just a readable page at a link you hand out.
Who can see a draft
The three paths are independent. A draft can sit in a shared workspace and be published at the same time, and one never changes the other.
| Path | Who reaches it | What they can do | Account needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Workspace membership | People in the workspace | Read or edit, by role | Yes |
| Published link | Anyone with the link | Read only | No |
| Agent link | An AI agent you hand the link to | Read the raw markdown | No |
Publishing a draft never lets anyone edit it. Workspace editing always comes from a role, never from a link. See Real-time collaboration for how roles grant editing.
What happens when access changes
| Event | Result |
|---|---|
| You unpublish a draft | The public link stops working; readers lose access immediately |
| You move a draft to another workspace | The old workspace’s members lose access and the new workspace’s members gain it; the draft’s sharing resets to private |
| You restore a draft from trash | It comes back private: publishing is off and any agent link is revoked |
