Sharing a Session as a Public Link
Publish a session as a read-only web page anyone can open — with a password and control over what they see.
Publishing a Wave AI session turns it into a web page anyone can open in a browser — no Wave account, no app, no attachment. You decide whether the page includes the transcript and audio, you can lock it behind a password, and you can switch it off whenever you like.
Publishing a session
The public link lives in the Who can see this part of the share sheet, under the people you've invited.
Choosing what viewers see
The summary is the heart of the page. What you add to it is up to you, and the controls appear once the link is on.
One switch covers both extras: Include audio and full transcript. Turn it off and the page shows the summary only.
If you've deleted the session's audio, the audio switch isn't shown and the page has no audio.
Adding a password
Turn on Password, type one into Enter a password, then tap Set password. Wave confirms with Password set. The copy icon in the field copies the password so you can send it separately.
Anyone holding the link and the password can open the page — Wave doesn't track who. Treat it like a document you emailed: easy to forward, so publish only what you'd be fine having passed along.
Turning a link off
Switch Publish to web (the Public link switch on the web and in the Wave desktop app) back off and Wave deletes the link and clears the password. The URL stops working, and turning publishing back on later generates a fresh link rather than reviving the old one.
Turning it off from iPhone or Android also resets the transcript, audio, and summary switches, so a session you republish from mobile starts from the defaults again.
Deleting the session revokes its public link too, so a session you move to Recently Deleted is no longer readable by anyone who kept the URL. Restoring the session doesn't bring the link back; turn the link on again to get a new one.
FAQ
No — the page is read-only. Edits you make in Wave, like a corrected speaker name, a regenerated summary, or a trim, show up on the published page.
No. It stays live until you turn publishing off or delete the session.
No. Public links work on every plan.
Invite them as a Wave user, so you can see who has access and remove it later. You can also use email to put a copy in someone's inbox, or one of the file and workspace exports in Sharing and Exporting.
