Share a Live Read-Only Workspace

Page type: Task guide
On this page

Let a recipient inspect selected Explorer files immediately without sending a durable full-workspace archive.

Procedure

  1. Click Share in the top toolbar, or right-click a file/folder and choose Share for a scoped root.
  2. Send the generated link to the recipient.
  3. The recipient opens it and returns the generated answer code.
  4. Paste the answer into Recipient answer and click Connect peer.
  5. Keep the owner tab open until transfer completes.
  6. Stop sharing when the session is finished.

Share Workspace window showing link, included roots, files, and peer status

Live Share sends non-ignored Explorer files. It does not provide collaborative editing, durable hosting, local UI history, browser caches, or model weights.

Scope and ignore rules

Use a root .takoignore file to exclude local-only files from live share and sync-style manifests:

*.traj
output/runs/
!output/summary.json

Verify the share

Confirm the window lists the intended roots/files, the peer reaches connected/transferred state, the recipient can open the report and supporting files, and no secret or unrelated file is included.

Troubleshooting
