Whenever you want to share an Episode with someone, you could of course print your Episode or save a PDF, but as these are snapshots in time, they do not stay up to date with the changes being made in the Episode as time goes on.

A better option is to share your Episode using a link to it.

When you want to share an Episode with someone who does not have access to the Project the Episode was created in, then you can use the 'Share public link' option.

This can be particularly handy for sharing an up-to-date version of your Episode with certain colleagues, internal or external stakeholders, and so on.
​

This link provides an always up-to-date, read-only view of your entire Episode, allowing the viewer to select which information they want to see and how.

When you select the 'Share public link' option, a pop-up will appear showing you a special link that can be copied to your computer's clipboard, allowing you to paste it wherever you want to share the link (email, chat app,...).

By default, the 'Public access' toggle is off, meaning that a new Episode is not shared or publicly accessible. When you open this pop-up to share the Episode, make sure to switch the toggle to the on state to enable sharing.

Should you no longer want this link to be available, you can then disable the access by toggling off 'Public access'.

The Shared public link provides a read-only view of your entire Episode in Cuez itself. This means that, whoever is viewing the Episode via the link, can select from the same layout, filter and Column options as an actual Cuez user. This even includes the ability to show the Timings if needed.

In the top left corner of the publicly shared Episode you can select which layout you want to view the Episode in:

For more information about the different layouts, see How can I view an Episode as a Script or as a Rundown?

By default, the shared Episode will show all the different Blocks in the Episode. You can, however, filter these Blocks to only show the ones you want or need.

For more information about filtering out certain Blocks, see How can I filter certain Block configurations from an Episode?

If Columns, such as Text Columns or Label Columns, were created in the Project and Episode, you can select whether or not these need to be displayed in the shared Episode. Simply click the '+' button at the top of the Script or Rundown, then select the Columns you want to display.

Using the '+' button at the top of the Script or Rundown, you can enable Timings in the shared Episode. Once enabled, you can select which of the available Timings you want to display.

Showing Timings in the shared Episode allows the viewer to follow along with up-to-date timings such as Estimated Duration, Front time, Back time, and more.

Using the 'Follow cue' option in the top right corner, the viewer can even follow along when the Episode is being cued from within Cuez itself.
