Mindsmith can share a lesson with learners, teammates, or reviewers through a link, message, embed, or exported file.

This article covers public and review links, SCORM and other exports, direct delivery, embeds, analytics, and Enterprise staging.

Jump to Section:

All lesson sharing options are located within the individual lesson editor. To open them:

This opens the Share panel, where you can manage access, select from various export options, and generate share links.

When you first open the Share menu, you'll see the Who Has Access section. For organization content, you can let anyone in the organization edit or restrict access to invited collaborators. You can invite an individual as an Editor or Viewer and change or remove their access later.

To enable external sharing links and embed codes, you must toggle on Public Access.

After you toggle Public Access on, the menu expands to show all available direct sharing and embed settings. Click More options at the bottom of the list to see advanced distribution methods.

If you are on an Enterprise plan, you can use Staging to edit a live lesson without immediately updating the version learners see.

To use staging:

You can also click Versions in this section to view the lesson's version history and restore previous states.

Depending on the needs of your team or learners, Mindsmith offers several distribution formats. These options are all accessible through the Share menu.

Choose a method based on who needs the lesson and where they will open it:

Navigation: Open the Share menu and toggle Public Access on. Click Copy Public Link.

Public links let learners open a lesson without signing in. You might use one for open training, customer education, or onboarding.

Navigation: Open the Share menu, toggle Public Access on, and click Copy Review Link.

A Review Link lets stakeholders preview a lesson as a learner would without a Mindsmith account. Use it to review a draft during development.

Key Details:

For tracked collaboration, invite teammates to your workspace. For learner access with analytics, use a Public Link instead.

When Flow is enabled and the organization has Slack or Microsoft Teams connected, a lesson can show Send to learners. This option creates a separate tracked link for each selected person and works even when the lesson is not published.

Choose a connected platform, select people or groups from the learner directory, add an optional message, and select Send. The panel previews how many selected learners are reachable and then shows delivery status. If a delivery fails before reaching a learner, correct the connection problem and use Retry.

Navigation: Open the Share menu and click Download LMS Package. Choose your format and delivery method, then click Download.

LMS packages allow you to integrate Mindsmith lessons into your existing learning management system to track progress and assessment results. For a deeper dive on SCORM packaging, see the SCORM Packaging guide.

You can configure two main settings:

Navigation: Open the Share menu and click Export as PDF.

This generates a static, text-based document of your lesson. PDF exports are helpful for compliance archives, printed handouts, or providing offline access to learners. Once processing is complete, the file will download automatically or be emailed to you directly.

Navigation: Open the Share menu, click More options, and select Export as Website.

This will download a ZIP file containing the HTML and web assets for your lesson. Website exports are suited for organizations that want to host content independently on an internal portal, custom web server, or intranet.

Navigation: Open the Share menu, toggle Public Access on, click More options, and select Get Embed Code.

Embedding places a lesson inside an existing platform or webpage. Select the Large or Fullscreen preset, then click Copy Embed Code to copy the generated iframe. You can paste it into a company wiki or Notion page.

Navigation: Open the Share menu, toggle Public Access on, click More options, and select QR Code.

QR codes are a quick way to give learners access on their mobile devices. They are especially effective in live training sessions, presentations, workshops, or when distributing content on physical flyers. Click Download QR Code to save the image to your device.

Navigation: Open the Share menu, toggle Public Access on, click More options, and select Send.

You can deliver lessons directly to specific learners by entering their email addresses or phone numbers. SMS supports US phone numbers only. Mindsmith labels email and SMS sending as a legacy feature in the Share panel.
