Library & share
Library
Open Library from the top bar (route /library).
- Browse workspace, organization, and community-style templates.
- Opening a template loads YAML as a new unsaved diagram (does not overwrite the template).
- If the current board is dirty, Sphere asks whether to stay or leave.
Visibility
The visibility control on the board sets one of three modes:
| Mode | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Private | Only you (signed-in owner) can access |
| Anyone with the link | Unlisted, view-only link — not listed in Library |
| Organization | Company workspace visibility. Implemented on the backend, but the toggle is disabled in the UI today ("coming soon") |
Unlisted links are view-only and do not appear as public Library entries unless you publish that way separately.
Share and save
- Share / Save persist the board as SCAN YAML to the cloud when you're signed in.
- Ctrl/Cmd+S takes the same path.
- Offline, signed out, or without save permission: Save still works, but it downloads a
.scan.yamlfile to your machine instead of saving to the cloud.
Public share URL
Unlisted diagrams load at:
{your-sphere-origin}/s/{diagramId}
For example, https://sphere.example.com/s/8f2c.... Copy the exact link from the visibility / share UI after saving — the domain depends on where your Sphere instance is hosted.
