Public Link in Gantt Chart

TL;DR:

Public link in Gantt Chart helps you to share your Gantt Chart in Wrike with anyone inside or outside your organization. Public links let viewers see your current view, but they can’t edit or open individual items. You can set a time limit for how long the link is active and add password protection for extra security. Account owners can control who can create public links and require passwords for all shared views. This feature helps teams securely share project information and maintain visibility without compromising control.
