I really don’t want to force anyone to open an account with Lucid just to view my document. I’m not even allowing them to edit, just VIEW. Is there a way around this? If not, I’m just going to cancel my account. 
 

Thanks!

Hi ​@Kiki Thank you for posting in the Lucid Community!

Appreciate the input ​@Humas1985 that’s a great and I just wanted to jump to quickly add ​@Kiki that you can provide your viewers either a guest collaborator link or share with them a published or embedded link. These methods do not require them to sign into a Lucid account.

For the first option (guest collaborator link), you must be a on a Team or Enterprise account. These links are versatile because the person using the link doesn’t need a Lucid account in order to edit, comment, or view. You can reference more information on these features as well as how to set this up in this help center article here.

The second option (published or embedded link) is available to all account level types. It allows you to share Lucid documents with anyone on the web, including those that do not have a Lucid account. Unlike guest collaborator links, those without an account will only be able to view these documents. You can reference more information on these features as well as how to set this up in this help center article here.

Hi ​@Kiki 

If recipients are being asked to create a Lucid account just to view, use the Publish option and share the published URL instead of the normal share link

Hope this helps
