Linking to another flowchart opens it in edit mode

Clicking a link to another flowchart from a published document opens that other document in edit mode. How do I get the action to open a published version of the linked flowchart?

It would be really nice if there was some sort of a preview function that would show me the flowchart as a normal viewer without editing permissions would see it. This seems like basic functionality that is missing from LucidChart. Or at least it's not an easy function to use because so far I haven't been able to figure it out.

Hi Ethan

Thank you for posting in the Community! When linking to a document you can create a published link and add this link as an action. When accessing this link it will open the document as view only.

I have included a gif of the process.

For more information you can reference our Help Center articles on publishing and adding actions to your document.

If you are still having trouble please submit a support ticket by emailing support@Lucidchart.com.
