Skillsail gives you three ways to share a finished module: a public link, a password-protected public link, and a template that other people can copy into their own workspace. For a step-by-step template walkthrough, see Templates.

​
Visibility

A module is either private or public.
  • Private — only people in your workspace can open it.
  • Public — anyone with the link can preview the module.
You can switch visibility at any time. Going from public to private removes outside access immediately.

​
Password protection

A public module can be protected by a passphrase. Visitors with the link must enter the passphrase before they can see the content. Use this when you want a wider audience than your workspace, but still need to gate access.
  • Set, change, or remove the passphrase at any time.
  • Changing the passphrase signs out anyone who unlocked the module with the old one. They need to enter the new passphrase to continue.

​
Templates

A template is a public module that other Skillsail users can copy into their own workspace. Templates are useful when you want to:
  • Share a proven training format across teams
  • Give subject matter experts a starting point instead of a blank page
  • Let other people adapt the content while keeping the structure
When you mark a module as a template, it is automatically made public and any passphrase is cleared. Templates cannot be password-protected — they are designed to be discovered and reused.

​
What gets copied

When someone copies a template:
  • The structure (slides, questions, interactive activities) is duplicated
  • All language translations come along
  • Theme, completion rules, and media (images, video, voiceover) come along
The copy lives in the recipient’s workspace as a new, private module. They can edit it however they like. Changes they make do not affect the original template, and changes you make to the original do not affect existing copies.

​
What does not get copied

  • The original module’s chat history with Skillsail
  • Saved version history
  • Share settings (the copy starts private with no passphrase)

​
Workflow tips

  • Finish the module first. Lock in structure, content, and theme before publishing as a template. Updating a template later does not retroactively update copies people already made.
  • Use clear titles. Recipients see the title in their workspace; pick something they can recognize months later.
  • Pair templates with a short note. If you are sharing inside a team, send the template link with a one-line note about how it should be adapted.
