Product Feature

Shareable Issue Links & Client Shares

Share QA findings with clients, stakeholders, and teammates via a single link. Recipients see severity badges, status indicators, screenshots, and element metadata in a clean, read-only view. No account or login required.

Shareable issue links let you bring clients, agency partners, stakeholders, and teammates into the QA process without requiring them to create an OverlayQA account or access your project tracker. Each link opens a table view of every captured issue, complete with severity badges, screenshots, CSS selectors, and viewport metadata. Clients and reviewers can see what was found and understand the scope of work without switching between tools.

The shared view is read-only, so recipients can review without accidentally modifying your issue data. Use shareable links to replace screenshot threads in Slack, email chains with annotated PNGs, and status update meetings where you walk through each issue one by one.

Comments with an audience

Each comment is Team only by default, or Team and clients when the client should see it. Attach PNG, JPG, or PDF files, up to 10 files and 10 MB per comment, and the files follow the comment's audience.

Branded client feedback portal

Your logo and accent color appear on shared issue links, client reviews, and the review portal, and one setting hides the Powered by OverlayQA line. Included on every plan. See the branded client feedback portal.

Clients comment with no account

Shared issue links are read-only. To collect new feedback, send a client review link: clients pin comments on the page and reply in a comment thread with no signup, and each pinned comment becomes a tracked issue.

Why shareable issue links matter

• Clients and stakeholders see progress without tracker access: Share a single link with clients, PMs, or executives who need visibility into QA findings but do not use Jira, Linear, Notion, Asana, Trello, ClickUp, or GitHub Issues.
• No account needed for recipients: Anyone with the link can view the full issue table. No sign-up, no login, no permissions to configure.
• Full context in one link: Every issue includes severity, status, screenshots, CSS selectors, and viewport metadata, so recipients understand the full picture without follow-up questions.
• Replaces screenshot threads and status meetings: Instead of pasting screenshots into Slack or walking through issues in a call, send a single link and let stakeholders review on their own time.

Frequently asked questions about shareable issue links

What is a shareable issue link?

Shareable issue links generate a single URL that displays all captured QA issues in a read-only table view. Recipients see severity badges, status indicators, screenshots, and element metadata without creating an account or logging in.

Who can see a shared issue link?

Anyone who has the URL. The page is read-only: viewers see issue details, screenshots, severity, and status, but they cannot edit anything in your project.

What is the difference between a shareable issue link and a client review link?

A shareable issue link is a read-only view of issues you already captured, built for status visibility. A client review link is interactive: reviewers pin new feedback directly on the page and each comment becomes an issue. Use the first to report, the second to collect.

Which plans include shareable issue links?

All plans. Shareable issue links are available on Starter, Team, and Pro, with no login required for viewers.

Can I keep some comments internal?

Yes. Every comment has an audience. Team only is the default and keeps the comment inside your team. Team and clients makes it visible to the clients you share with. Files attached to a comment follow the same audience.

Can I attach files to comments?

Yes. Comments take PNG, JPG, and PDF files, up to 10 files and 10 MB per comment, plus emoji. Use them for a mockup, a spec page, or a follow-up screenshot so the evidence stays on the issue.

Can I put my own branding on shared issue links?

Yes, on every plan. Your logo and accent color appear on shared issue links, client reviews, and the review portal, and you can hide the Powered by OverlayQA line in Settings, under Branding.

Can clients comment without an account?

Yes, through a client review link. Clients open it in any browser, pin comments on the page, and reply in a comment thread with no signup. Each pinned comment becomes a tracked issue in your project.
