How to share a client presentation (privately, with view tracking)

June 11, 2026·5 min read

Emailing a client a deck as a PDF or PowerPoint attachment is a black box: you don’t know if they opened it, you can’t take it back when you spot a typo, and “approved” lives somewhere in a reply thread. Sharing the same presentation as a controlled link fixes all three. Here’s how.

Short answer
Build the deck with Claude Design, drop the HTML into Shareable, and share it behind a password or an invite list. You see who opened it and when, collect sign-off on the page, and update it in place — the link never changes.

Build the deck with Claude Design

Claude Design turns a prompt into a polished, self-contained presentation: “Build a 6-section client presentation for [project] — title, the problem, our approach, timeline, pricing, and next steps — designed and on-brand.” It generates real HTML you can refine by asking (“make the pricing section a comparison table”). For a multi-section deck, you can also publish it as a multi-page deck under one link. Already have a deck exported to PDF or HTML? Bring that instead.

Share it privately

Drop it into Shareable and pick who can open it: a password, specific invited people, or anyone with a verified email — none of which a raw attachment or a public link gives you. For a pitch you don’t want forwarded around, add link controls: an expiry date, a view limit, or view-only.

See who looked — and get sign-off

Once it’s sent, analytics tell you who opened it and when (and Pro emails you the moment they do — useful to time your follow-up). When you need a decision on the record, turn on approvals: the client clicks Approve or Request changes right on the page, verified by email — so sign-off is a logged action, not a buried reply. Comments handle the smaller inline feedback.

Update without resending

Caught a wrong number after you sent it? Edit and republish — the link is unchanged, the client sees the corrected deck, and version history keeps the old versions. No awkward “please disregard the previous attachment.”

Frequently asked questions

How do I share a presentation with a client?

Instead of emailing a PDF or PowerPoint attachment, host the deck on a link you control. Build it (Claude Design generates a polished deck from a prompt), drop the HTML into Shareable, set it to a password or specific invited people, and send the link. You then see who opened it and can update it in place.

Can I see if the client viewed my presentation?

Yes — that’s the main reason to send a link instead of an attachment. Shareable shows a view count free; Pro adds devices, locations, and an email the moment it’s opened. Share by invited-people or verified-email and you can see which client specifically opened it, and when.

Can I collect sign-off or approval on a deck?

Yes. With approvals (Pro), designated people Approve or Request changes right on the page — verified by email, with an optional note — so you have a record of who signed off and when, instead of chasing a “looks good” in email. You can also turn on comments for inline feedback.

Can I update the deck after sending it?

Yes. Edit and republish — the link stays the same, so the client always sees the current version, and version history keeps the previous ones. No “please ignore the last attachment, here’s v3.”

Is this a DocSend alternative for decks?

For the core job — sending a deck behind a controlled link and seeing who opened it — yes, and Shareable adds a free tier plus AI-native publishing. See the full side-by-side in our DocSend comparison.
