My 15 students shared their apps with me by generating links. Unfortunately, I did not notice that those links were expiring, and now I cannot access the apps (“Error copying shared project via link”). I have seen that others got help to solve the problem by posting here, so I hope somebody can help me as well. Here are two of the 15 links (new users can only put 2 links in a post. I hope I will be able to share the other links later): [https://x.thunkable.com/copy/692267b4cf4386e6357c7f4a043b94fd](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/692267b4cf4386e6357c7f4a043b94fd) [https://x.thunkable.com/copy/7dbeef5553bc0c0b30cee637bd4419b2](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/7dbeef5553bc0c0b30cee637bd4419b2) ---

If you don’t want the link to expire, you can make the project public and copy the link of the project directly, without using the sharing link! ---

Thanks for your kind answer, I’ll keep in mind for future activities. Any chance now to access these projects with expired link? Thanks! ---

see you can make link private but first the user you shared the public link must click it and after 5 mins you can make it private back ---

I find it much easier to search for my students’ usernames in the public gallery and access the projects that way. But the projects have to be public (not private). ---
