Share a Draft 2.0.1Latest
- Changed: The editor and the Preview Links help explain that people who can edit a post skip a link’s limits.
- Fixed: Create and manage preview links from the classic editing screen, for sites using the Classic Editor plugin and for post types without the block editor.
- Fixed: Deleting a user from a multisite network revokes their preview links on every site they belong to.
- Fixed: A named reviewer is told straight away when a link has reached its viewing limit, rather than being emailed a code first.
- Fixed: Revoking a link on the Preview Links screen keeps the creator filter and page you were on.
Share a Draft 2.0.0
- A rewrite. Requires WordPress 6.9 and PHP 8.2 or later.
- New: Generate preview links from the Share a Draft panel in the block editor or the classic editing screen, and choose how long each one lasts and how many people can open it.
- New: Bind a link to named reviewers, who confirm their email address with a one-time code, or restrict it to trusted IP ranges.
- New: A Preview Links screen listing every link on the site, with bulk revoking (for example, everything one person made) and an administrator switch to pause every link at once.
- New: Reviewers who open an expired, revoked, or used-up link are told why it stopped working. Unknown links stay a plain “not found”.
- New: Manage links with WP-CLI (wp shareadraft) and the Abilities API, under the same rules and permissions as the editor.
- New: Links are discarded when a draft is published, made private, or trashed, and revoked when the person who created them is deleted.
- New: Support for the Export and Erase Personal Data tools, and a Site Health check for the cleanup schedule.
- Changed: Links are created in the editor rather than under Posts → Share a Draft, which remains only for reviewing and deleting 1.x links, as Share a Draft (Old).
- Removed: Extending a link’s lifetime. Generate a new link instead.
- Security: Only a hash of each link’s token is stored, and every limit is enforced on the server.
Share a Draft 1.7
- New: A button to copy a shared draft’s link.
- Changed: A redesigned Share a Draft screen.
- Fixed: Previews breaking the header and other template parts on block themes.
Share a Draft 1.6
- Fixed: PHP 8 deprecation notices, warnings from shares whose post was deleted, and a comparison that could make a valid link 404.
