Share a program

Before you start

• Sharing and editor invites are done from Programs in the web app, which is part of a coach account.
• People you share a read-only link with do not need a Beoflow account.
• Program editors must have a Beoflow coach account.

Share a read-only link (web)

1. Open Programs and select the program.
2. Open the program menu and choose Share a read-only link.
3. Under Expires after, choose 1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 1 year or No expiry. 1 week is the default.
4. Optionally fill in Who is this for? (optional) (up to 80 characters). Only you see this label. It helps you tell your links apart.
5. Choose Create link, then use the copy button next to it in Existing links.

Anyone with the link can read the whole program on a web page, without signing in: your name as the coach, and for each session its date, title, type, duration and description. They cannot edit it, copy it or assign it to anyone. Write session descriptions with that in mind.

You can create several links for the same program, for different people. Each one shows when it expires, or Expired or Revoked.

Turn a link off (web)

1. Open the program and choose Share a read-only link.
2. Under Existing links, choose Revoke next to the link.

Anyone who opens it afterwards sees This link was turned off.

Send a program to someone on Beoflow (web)

1. In the same panel, choose Send to.
2. Pick the people or enter their email addresses, then send.

They open it from their Inbox, read only. See the Inbox guide for how sending works.

Invite another coach to edit a program (web)

1. Open Programs, select the program, and choose Manage program & editors.
2. Choose Invite editor and enter the coach’s email address. You can also tick programs under Edit these programs when you invite a coach from your Access settings.
3. Send the invite. You see: “Invite sent. (their email) accepts it on their Access page, then can edit (program name).”

Only the program’s owner can invite editors. A personal plan cannot have editors.

Accept an editor invite

1. Open the link in the invite email and sign in with the address the invite was sent to.
2. Accept the invite from your Inbox or your Access page.
3. Once you accept, you can open and edit the program. You can also decline it from the same place.

Changes an editor makes reach every athlete following the program, the same as the owner’s changes.

If someone sent you a plan link

Some older plan links let you add a plan to your own calendar.

• iPhone: open the link. The Shared Plan screen shows the plan, who shared it and how many workouts it has. Tap Assign to Me to follow it, or View My Plan if you already have.
• Web: the link opens a read-only preview. It shows This plan is already in your programs if you already follow it.

Troubleshooting

• “This link has expired”: the coach set it to last a fixed time. Ask them for a new one.
• “This link was turned off”: the coach withdrew access.
• “We could not find that program”: check the link is complete. Links are easy to cut short when pasted.
• “No Beoflow coach account with that email. Ask them to sign up as a coach first.”: editors need a coach account.
• “That coach is already an editor”: nothing to do.
• “This invite was sent to a different email address.”: sign in with the address the invite went to.
• “Only Beoflow coach accounts can edit programs.”: the invite can only be accepted from a coach account.
• “This program is for sale. Open its sales page to buy it.”: the program is sold, so it cannot be added for free. Use its sales page.

FAQ

• Can the person with a read-only link see my athletes? No. The page shows the program’s sessions and your name, never your athletes.
• Do read-only links work on mobile? Yes. They open as a web page in any browser.
• Can I share from the iPhone or Android app? Not at the moment. Share from the web app.

Privacy

A read-only link shows your display name and the program’s sessions, including their descriptions, to anyone who has the link, until it expires or you revoke it. Your email address is never shown. Editors you invite can see and change the program, and their changes reach the athletes following it.
