Lovable now supports sharing projects as read-only with workspace members
TL;DR
Lovable now lets Business and Enterprise workspaces share projects with Can view permission so members can open and reference them without edits.
What changed
Lovable added a Can view permission for Business and Enterprise workspaces so projects can be shared read-only. Vibe Builders and Developers can open and inspect these projects while Basic Users reference details without edit risks.
Why it matters
This setup supports team reviews in use-cases like daily project handoffs among Developers without unintended modifications. It mirrors permission models seen in competitor platforms where view access cuts down on revision cycles during collaborative checks.
What to watch for
Compare the new option against full-edit sharing in tools like Replit when deciding on workspace setups. Verify the feature by testing a Can view link in a Business workspace and confirming no edit buttons appear for the recipient.
Who this matters for
- Vibe Builders: Share your app prototypes with clients using read-only links to prevent accidental prompt edits.
- Basic Users: Review project progress and UI details safely without the risk of breaking the underlying code.
Harsh’s take
Granular permissions are a baseline requirement for any tool moving from hobbyist toy to enterprise utility. Lovable adding read-only access is a direct play for professional services and agencies that need to show work to clients without letting them touch the engine. It reduces the friction of constant screen sharing and manual exports.
This update signals that the platform is maturing toward collaborative environments. While simple, it solves the immediate pain point of accidental edits during stakeholder reviews. Operators should use this to streamline their handoff process, treating the read-only view as a live documentation site for non-technical team members.
