Sharing a Sway

Sways can be shared with any users, both inside and outside of UConn. There are three available permission levels: Specific people or groups, Those within your organization with the link, and Anyone with the link. By default, the second option will be selected, meaning that any UConn user with the link will be able to access the Sway.

  • Specific people or groups - Only people or groups within UConn for whom you've explicitly granted permission will be able to view or edit your Sway. When you send a view or edit link to specific people or groups, they will be required to sign in so they can see your Sway. This is the most secure setting, so use this option for sensitive or confidential information that you don’t want to share publicly.

  • Those in your organization with the link - Only people at UConn will be able to view or edit your Sway. When you send a view or edit link to people within the university, they will be required to sign in so they can see your Sway. Be sure to use this option for sensitive or confidential information that only people within UConn should see.

  • Anyone with a link - Only people who have been given the link to your Sway will be able to view or edit it. They only have to sign in if they have been sent an edit link. If your Sway contains nothing confidential, you can use this security setting. When this option is selected, you will see additional share options.
