# Sharing your Trust Center

**Time to complete:** 10–30 minutes (for your first sharing method)\
**Prerequisites:** Your Trust Center is designed, customized, and ready to share with customers.

***

There’s no single “right” way to share your Trust Center. Some teams send direct invitations to specific contacts, others let prospects request access via a public link, and some automate everything through CRM or authentication integrations.

Pick the method that fits your workflow, you can always mix and match or change later.

***

## How do you want to share?

### Option 1: Manual sharing (best for direct sales)

You control exactly who gets access. This is ideal for named prospects and customers in active deals.

* **[Issuing Pre-Approved Invitations](issuing-pre-approved-invitations):** Send invitations directly to specific contacts
* **[Resending Invitations](resending-invite):** When someone loses or misses their original invite

**When to use this:** Active sales cycles, high-touch deals, strategic partnerships

***

### Option 2: Self-service (best for inbound leads)

Prospects can request access themselves. You can manually approve or set up auto-approvals.

* **[Letting Visitors Request Access](share-via-link-approve-access-requests):** Enable prospects to request access via a public link

**When to use this:** Marketing website links, inbound leads

***

### Option 3: Automated sharing (best for scale)

Integrate with your CRM or auth system to grant access automatically based on your rules.

* **[Auto-Approving Connection Requests](auto-approving-connection-requests):** Grant access automatically based on email domain rules
* **[Bring-Your-Own-Auth](bring-your-own-auth):** Use your existing authentication system (SSO, SAML, JWT, etc.) to give logged-in users seamless access

**When to use this:** High volume, existing customers, post-sale access

***

## You’ll know this worked when...

✅ Customers can access your Trust Center without emailing you\
✅ You can see who’s accessing what (and when)\
✅ Sales reps aren’t manually sending documents anymore\
✅ Security reviews move faster because buyers can self-serve

## Common questions

**What’s the difference between an “invite” and a “connection”?**\
An invite is pending (sent but not accepted). A connection is active (they’ve accessed your Trust Center). Think of it like a friend request vs. an actual friend.

**Can I share my Trust Center publicly without access control?**\
Yes. You can configure certain sections as public in [Configuring the public view](public-view). Most teams gate at least some content behind requests.

**What happens if someone forwards their invite link?**\
Invite links are single-use and tied to specific email addresses. If someone forwards it, the recipient will need to request their own access.

**Do I have to pick just one sharing method?**\
No. You can mix and match. For example:

* Manual invites for enterprise deals
* Self-service for inbound leads
* Automation for existing customers

## What’s next?

* **Access granted - now what?** See [Managing connections](managing-connections) to track usage and take action.
* **Need to configure NDAs first?** See [Bypassing the NDA](bypassing-the-nda) and related NDA settings.
* **Want to automate expirations?** Check [Auto-expiring access](auto-expiring-access-for-trust-center-connections).
