Share Screens as Public Web Pages (Onespot Page links)
How to Use Screens as Unique URLs
This guide explains how to enable Public Web Pages so you can share a screen in your app as its own web page with a unique link. This is helpful when you want to point families, staff, or your community straight to a specific screen (for example, your calendar, announcements, or a form).
There are two ways to get a screen's link once Public Web Pages is enabled:
• From the screen's settings — the quickest method, available for content, form, events, and feed/chat screens.
• From your browser's address bar — the universal fallback that works for any screen you can open on the web.
Step 1: Enable Public Web Pages
- In your Administrative Superpowers ⚡, go to the App Settings & Design.
- Scroll down to find Advanced: Enable Public Web Pages?
- Switch the toggle to Enabled.
- Make sure to click Save Changes.
Once enabled, your screens can be opened and shared as standalone web pages.
Step 2: Copy the screen's Onespot Page link (recommended)
1. Open the screen you want to share and go to its settings (the gear ⚙ icon).
2. Scroll to the Onespot Page section and tap View Link.
3. Onespot reveals a Web Link — select and copy it to share by email, text, social media, or on your website.
Note: The Onespot Page section appears for content, form, events, and feed/chat screens once Public Web Pages is enabled. For other screen types, use the address-bar method in Step 2 (alternative) below.
The note shown under the link changes based on the screen's access settings:
• Visible, open screen — you can link directly to this screen as a web page; anyone with the link can view it.
• Access-restricted screen — only users who have access (by account type, group, or feed subscription) will be able to view it, even with the link.
• Hidden screen — the screen is hidden inside the app, but anyone with the link can still open it. Treat the link like a password and only share it with the people who should see it.
Step 2 (alternative): Copy the link from your browser's address bar
- Open the screen you want to share in a web browser.
- The screen's unique URL appears in the address bar.
- Copy that link to share.
NOTE: Use this method for screen types that don't show an Onespot Page section in their settings.
Step 3: Share the Link
- Paste the link into an email, text message, or social media post. You can also send it straight to your community as an in-app notification — see How to Send a Link as a Notification. Anyone with the link will be able to view that specific screen as a web page (subject to the screen's access settings described above).
Sharing a hidden screen? A hidden screen's link is public — anyone who receives your notification can open it. Only send it to the people who should see that screen, and don't rely on "hidden" to keep it private.
🔒 Best Practices for Sharing
- Use for public information: Share calendars, announcements, or event pages that are safe for anyone to view.
- Avoid sharing private content: Don't share links for screens that contain student or parent information.
- Remember: hidden ≠ private. Marking a screen as hidden only removes it from view inside the app — anyone with its link can still open it on the web. Don't rely on "hidden" to protect sensitive content; restrict access by account type or group instead.
- Check visibility first: Open the page yourself — ideally in an incognito/private browser window where you're signed out — before sharing, to confirm exactly what a recipient will see.
