Client & guest review links
Let a client or reviewer see a translation without an account, and without exposing the rest of your work. Every link expires after 30 days.

How can I share a document for review?
- View link — anyone with the link sees a read-only snapshot of source and translation. No account needed.
- Comment link — they view and comment; they enter a name (and, if they like, an email address, so they get an email when someone replies to them or @-mentions them) and join as a guest who only ever sees that one document.
- Invite by email — if they have a Transept account they get access inside it; otherwise they receive a private review link.
Can a client see our internal comments?
A comment thread can be marked internal (editors and teammates only) or shared (everyone with access, including comment-only guests). Use internal to keep team notes off a document a client is reviewing.
Can a client edit the translation from a review link?
No — review links are view-only or comment-only. If someone needs to change the text itself, share the document with them directly at Edit access instead; see roles & permissions.
Does a guest reviewer take up a team seat?
No. A guest who opens a comment link isn’t a team member, and Transept’s seats aren’t access in the first place — they exist only to fund a shared team credit pool.
Can I send the same review link to several people?
Yes — a view or comment link works for anyone who has it, so one link can go to a whole review group, and each comment-link guest enters their own name on arrival. Use invite by email when you’d rather give one named person access.
Can a reviewer read the page in their own language?
Yes. Anonymous viewers on a share link can switch the interface language on their own device. That changes the Transept interface around the document, not the translation itself.
Will I know when a guest leaves a comment?
Yes. When a guest comments, the document's owner gets an email. On a team document it goes to whoever created the link, or to the team owner if that person has left the team. You get at most one email an hour for each document: comments that arrive within the hour are gathered into one email, sent once the hour is up, that says how many came in. If the guest left an email address, your reply in the document reaches them by email. These emails belong to Transept app notifications, which you can switch off in Settings → Account → Email preferences.
