# Sharing project progress

Every project in Bulido has its own public link you can give to the client. They open it in a browser — no account, no install — and see the current state of the project in real time. It saves you the constant *"how's it going on site?"* phone calls.

## How to share the link

The project view has an **Online preview** button. Clicking it opens the public link in a new tab, exactly the way the client will see it. Copy the URL from the address bar and send it to the client (email, SMS, WhatsApp — wherever you usually message them).

The link works as long as the project exists in your account. You can come back to it at any time, and so can the client.

## What the client sees in the public preview

- **Project progress**: *X of Y services completed*, with a percentage progress bar.
- **Scope of work**: services grouped by room, with completed ones marked.
- **Checklist**: detailed task list with **Completed** / **Pending** statuses.
- **Settlements**: sections for **Labor** (work value, paid, remaining) and **Materials** (client payments, expenses, balance). The client sees the payment history and the list of materials expenses.
- **Photo gallery**: only photos marked **Public** (photos marked **Private** stay just with you).
- **Project address** with a map (Google Maps link).

Every change you make in the dashboard — ticking off a task, adding a public photo, recording a payment — shows up in the public link immediately.

## What the client doesn't see

- Your internal notes on payments and expenses.
- Photos marked **Private**.
- The values of individual checklist items (the client sees only completion status, not price).
- Your data from other clients or other projects.

## Why this matters for the client

Showing payments, material costs, and progress in one place cuts down on *"how's it going?"* and *"do you have everything you need?"* calls. The client can see in black and white that labor is paid for completed milestones and the materials balance is honest. That builds trust and reduces end-of-project arguments.
