# Artifacts

> Live pages Lindy builds and hosts for you: dashboards, reports, prototypes, and internal sites, each on its own link you control.

Ask Lindy for a dashboard, a report, or a page and it doesn't hand back a file to open. It builds the thing, hosts it, and gives you a link on its own `lindy.link` address.

Anything that renders in a browser works: live dashboards, weekly reporting, call prep pages, design prototypes, generated assets, one-off internal sites.

## Every artifact starts private

A new artifact is private. Signed-in members of your workspace can open the link. Anyone outside it gets **This artifact is private**, even with the exact URL.

That default is deliberate. Artifacts get built out of your real work: inbox content, meeting notes, revenue numbers. Copying the URL never bypasses the permission.

<Note>
  Private means private to your workspace, not to you alone. A teammate who is signed in can open any artifact in the workspace, which is why a link you paste in a channel just works for the team and not for anyone outside it.
</Note>

## Sharing one publicly

Ask Lindy to publish it: **"make that dashboard public"** or **"give me a shareable link."** Lindy asks you to approve first, same as any other write action, and returns the public URL once you do.

<Warning>
  Public means public. Anyone with the link opens the page without signing in, and there is no share-with-one-person mode. Publish only what you would be comfortable with anyone seeing.
</Warning>

Ask Lindy to unpublish it and the link goes offline, back to workspace-only.

## Keeping one up to date

Ask for changes and Lindy rebuilds the page on the same URL, so a link you already shared keeps working and shows the current version.

That is the point of a hosted page over an exported file: the people you sent it to see this morning's numbers, not the copy you emailed on Tuesday.

## What teams build with them

| Artifact               | What it replaces                                        |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Live dashboard**     | The spreadsheet someone refreshes by hand every Monday  |
| **Call prep page**     | Ten browser tabs opened five minutes before the meeting |
| **Weekly report**      | A recurring deck nobody updates after week three        |
| **Design prototype**   | A static mockup you can't click through                 |
| **Internal one-pager** | The doc that gets forked into four stale copies         |
