Work together, build together, share with anyone who needs access.
Blocks isn't just where you build - it's where your whole team works together. And anyone else you collaborate with, inside or outside your company.
This guide walks you through every sharing option:
Team workspace sharing
External sharing (customers, vendors, partners)
Public tools anyone can use
You control exactly how sharing works. There's no limit to what you can do.
Let's dive in!
Your team workspace
Blocks is where your whole team works together.
When you invite team members, they get:
Access to your workspace
The Marketplace to explore templates
Ability to build new tools (you control this)
Everyone works in the same space. No silos. No confusion.
Adding your team
It's simple: Go to the Teams tab. Add their email. Done.
How permissions work
Two levels of control:
1. General access
Set default tool level permissions for all team members:
Can build - Team members can change and modify the tool with Ella
Can access - Team members can use the tool but can't change how it works
Invitation only - Only people you add see the tool in the team workspace (i.e private)
2. Member access
Override the default for specific people. Give someone more access or less access within the tool
Build - They can edit the tool with Ella
Access - They can use the tool but not change how it works
Note: Ella can also create custom roles within each tool based on your workflow. Learn more about roles & permissions →
Sharing a tool with your team members
Click Share → Add team members by email → Done!
Your team is added to the tool and can access your Blocks immediately.
Sharing outside your team
Need to share your tools with people outside your company like customers, vendors, or partners? Building something public facing you'd like to share externally? Three ways to do it:
1. Private - Login required to access
Two way to set this up:
Only invited users can login - You add specific emails. Only those people get in.
Use for: Client portals, vendor systems, partner dashboardsAnyone with the link can log in - Anyone you share the link with can signup and use it
Use for: Community tools, member portals, beta testing
2. Public - Anyone with the link can access
Three ways to set this up:
All content is public - No login needed. Open to everyone.
Use for: Contact forms, event registration, landing pages, booking systemsInvited users can login to restricted parts - The app is public but some pages are private and only people you add by email can access them.
Use for: Public website with private client area, resource site with member-only contentAnyone with a link can login to restricted parts- The app is public but some pages are open and some need login (but anyone can sign up).
Use for: Free tools that save user preferences, public forms that track submission history
Note: External users can only use your tools. They can't change them.
Before sharing: Check your publish settings. They control whether external users can view or add information, or both.
