Sharing and inviting

Templates only become useful when they reach the people who fill them. Pocper has two flows for that — publishing a template for anyone with the link, or inviting a specific client to a single paper. Same machinery underneath, different intent on top.

1 · Publish and share a template

From any template's editor toolbar, click the share button. The first time, you'll see a Publish call-to-action — Pocper takes a snapshot of the template at this moment, and every Paper created from your share link inherits that exact version. Future edits don't change Papers already underway unless you re-publish.

Once published, the dialog reveals the share link, a QR code, and three controls: require name, require email, and set expiration date. Toggle either Require option to gate the respondent — they have to fill that field before they can start. Set an expiration date if the link should stop working after a certain time. Copy the link, scan the QR code, or hand it off through the built-in WhatsApp, LINE, and email shortcuts.

2 · Invite a client to a single Paper

Sometimes you don't want a public share link — you want to send a specific Paper to a specific client. Open the Paper detail page and click Invite. The dialog looks the same as template sharing, but the title reads "Invite your client" and the link points to one Paper, not a template — so every fill goes back to the same record.

Inviting and template sharing both create a Share record under the hood, so the same options apply: require name/email, expiration, copy/QR code. Each invite link is independent — if you invite the same client twice with different links, you get two Share records you can track separately.

3 · Track and manage links

Every time a respondent opens your link, Pocper increments a scan count and posts an in-app notification. Open Invite History (for Papers) or Publish Record (for templates) from the same share dialog to see every link you've created: when it was made, how many times it's been opened, and whether it's still active.

From the history view you can rename a link for your own reference, disable it temporarily (existing Papers stay intact), or delete it permanently. Disabled and deleted links return a not-found page if a respondent tries to open them — they don't leak any Paper data.

What's next

Once a respondent opens your link, they see a very different interface than the admin editor. For respondents walks through what they experience, so you know exactly what you're sending people into.
