I've been given a share link with Required Signup/Login + View All Boards/Comments access, now what?
If you enable the toggle for this option, the obtained share link for your project would allow your clients to view all previous boards and comments, and add their respective comments and tasks.
For guests, share links that have View All Boards/Comments Only Access mean that you can view the content of the upload that has been shared with you, as well as the comments and annotations of others who have reviewed the upload.
This means that you will most likely see Pencil Drawings, Highlighted text, Boxes, and Arrows on the upload - along with their associated comments - but you WILL NOT be able to create those annotations on your own.
Do Reviewers Have to Verify Email When Signing Up/Login?
If the clients and users are required to login, they have to verify their account by following these 4 simple steps.
Step 1 — Sign Up or Accept an Invitation
When you create a new zipBoard account or click an invitation link from a teammate, you'll be prompted to enter your email address and set a password. Once you submit the form, zipBoard automatically sends a verification email to the address you provided.
Step 2 — Check Your Inbox
Open the inbox for the email address you used during sign-up. Look for an email from zipBoard with the subject line similar to "Verify your email address" or "Confirm your zipBoard account". The email typically arrives within 1–2 minutes.
💡 Tip: If you don't see it in your primary inbox, check your Spam, Junk, or Promotions folder. Corporate email systems and filters sometimes route automated emails there.
Step 3 — Click the Verification Link
Open the email and click the "Verify Email" button or link. This will open a browser tab confirming that your email has been successfully validated.
Note: To prevent our mail servers from being overwhelmed, there is a 30-second cooldown on this button. If it is greyed out, simply wait for the countdown to hit zero to try again.
Step 4 — Start Using zipBoard
That's it! Once verified, you have full access to your zipBoard account. You can now create projects, annotate files, collaborate with your team, and receive all notifications.red route to be as simple and frictionless as possible. Here is a breakdown of the key elements you’ll see:
Reminder
