How do I share a plan?

Once you have measured and marked up the plan, share the project with the other person's MetreMate account. It shows up in their Shared with me list, and they see the real plan, not a screenshot.

Do recipients need an account to view it?

Yes. The person you share with signs in with a MetreMate account, and the project then shows up in their Shared with me list.

Will they see my measurements and notes?

Yes. Share sends the marked-up plan, so recipients see your measurements and annotations, not a blank drawing.

Is this better than emailing a PDF?

For most jobs, yes. Sharing in MetreMate avoids file-size limits and zipped attachments, and shows the plan with your markups instead of a flattened screenshot.

Is sharing on the free plan?

Yes. Project sharing is on every plan, including Free, so you can share a measured plan with a client or sub from day one.

Can I tell if they have looked at it?

Yes. Each project shows how many times its share has been viewed, and on their side the Shared with me list can be filtered by unread and viewed.

Where does a shared project show up for the other person?

In the Shared with me section of their MetreMate account, which lists every project others have shared with them in one place.

Can I share the same plan with more than one person?

Yes. Share it with your client, your crew, and your subs, and they all see the same marked-up plan, so scope and pricing conversations happen off one shared picture rather than a string of screenshots.

Feature

Share the measured plan, not a screenshot

Share puts your marked-up, measured plan in front of your team, your subs, or your client inside MetreMate, so they see the real thing instead of a blurry screenshot or an oversized email attachment.

From problem to outcome

From screenshot tennis to one shared plan

Share is for the back-and-forth that eats your day: cropping screenshots, zipping PDFs, and explaining over the phone which version is the latest one.

Finish your markup

Measure and mark up the plan the way you need it.

Step 2

Share the project

Share it with the person's MetreMate account instead of sending a screenshot or attachment.

Step 3

They open it in MetreMate

It lands in their Shared with me list, so your client, crew, or sub can open the marked-up plan.

The old way

Screenshots and attachments slow everyone down

Cropping the screen, zipping files, and emailing plans around means low-quality images, version mix-ups, and a lot of chasing to work out who is looking at what.

Screenshots lose detail and context
Big PDFs bounce off email limits
Nobody is sure which version is current

Why it’s better with MetreMate

Sharing that actually keeps up with the job

Share replaces the screenshot habit with the real marked-up plan, so the conversation is about the work, not about which file is the right one.
