Sharing an input list

You've built your input list — now to get it to the people who need it. There are two normal ways: a public link you send on its own, or embedded inside a rider so it travels with everything else.

The two ways to share

Public link. In the share panel, turn on the public toggle. You'll get a URL that looks something like /plot/input-lists/il-xxxxxxxx. Anyone you send that link to can open it in any browser, no account needed. They see a clean, read-only table of your channels.

Embed in a rider. In the rider editor, add the Input List section and pick one of your lists. It appears inside the rider the same way any other section does. Recipients of the rider see the channels right there on the page — no second link to click.

Which to pick

Most of the time, embed it in the rider. The rider is what production teams and FOH engineers actually read before a show, and having everything in one document means nothing gets lost or opened on the wrong screen.

Send a standalone link when:

• Your FOH engineer specifically asks for "just the input list."
• You're collaborating on the list with a bandmate or tech and the rider isn't ready yet.
• The venue has a form that asks for an input list URL.

What the recipient sees

They land on a styled table with every channel, patch, instrument, source, stand, and the 48V and own-gear flags. They can't edit anything. They can scroll on a phone, or print the page if they prefer paper.

Turning sharing off

In the same share panel, toggle public off. The link stops working immediately — anyone who tries to open it sees a "link revoked" message. Flip it back on and the list is public again.
