You can share your templates with others by generating a shareable link. The link includes all your template content encoded in the URL, so recipients can view and edit your template immediately.
1

Create or load a template

Make sure you have a template loaded in the playground with:
  • A Concerto model
  • TemplateMark template
  • JSON data (optional but recommended)
2

Click the Share button

In the top navigation bar, locate and click the Share button.
3

Copy the link

The link is automatically copied to your clipboard, and you’ll see a confirmation message: “Link copied to clipboard!”
4

Share the link

Paste the link anywhere you want to share it:
  • Email
  • Slack or Teams
  • Documentation
  • GitHub issues or pull requests
The shareable link contains all the content from your three editors:
  • Complete Concerto model code
  • Full TemplateMark template
  • JSON data
  • Preview state
The content is compressed and encoded directly into the URL, so there’s no server storage or expiration.
Shareable links can be quite long because they contain all your template data. Some platforms may have URL length limits.
When someone opens a shared link:
  1. The playground automatically loads with all the shared content
  2. All three editors populate with the template data
  3. The preview renders immediately
  4. The recipient can view, edit, and experiment with the template
Changes made by someone viewing a shared link don’t affect the original. Each person works with their own copy.

​
Use cases for sharing

​
Collaboration

Share templates with team members for review and feedback: 
Hey team, I've drafted a new contract template. 
Check it out: https://playground.accordproject.org/?data=...

​
Support and troubleshooting

When asking for help, share your template so others can see the exact issue: 
I'm getting an error with this template. Can someone help?
https://playground.accordproject.org/?data=...

​
Documentation and examples

Include working examples in documentation: 
For a complete example, see this employment offer template:
https://playground.accordproject.org/?data=...

​
Learning and teaching

Share templates in tutorials or training materials: 
Lesson 3: Working with lists
Open this template to follow along:
https://playground.accordproject.org/?data=...

​
Privacy considerations

Because shareable links encode all template data in the URL:
  • The link contains all your template content in plain text (though encoded)
  • Anyone with the link can view your template
  • Links are not password protected
  • Don’t share templates containing sensitive or confidential information

​
Best practices

Before sharing, verify that:
  • The template renders correctly in the preview
  • There are no errors in the Problem Panel
  • The JSON data contains appropriate sample values (not real data)
Use clear, descriptive sample data so recipients understand what each field represents:
{
  "$class": "org.example.Contract",
  "partyName": "Example Company Name",
  "amount": 1000.00,
  "date": "2024-01-01"
}
Add comments in your TemplateMark or Concerto model to explain complex parts:
// This amount includes all taxes and fees
o Double totalAmount

​
Limitations

  • URL length: Very complex templates may create URLs that exceed browser or platform limits
  • No versioning: Each share creates a new link; there’s no history of changes
  • No access control: Anyone with the link can view the template
  • No persistence: The template only exists in the URL; if the link is lost, the template is lost
For version control and long-term storage, consider saving your templates in a Git repository alongside your documentation.
