Hi Thunkable,  
Merry Christmas ! The UI of the community page is looking great !  
My question is what is the difference between a shareable link generated vs if I share the URL of the page of my app. One is that the former expires after 60 days, so does the URL also expire or can change after sometime? I tried to search this topic but could not find any, please guide.

TIA

Hello @mindchamp  
The project URL doesn’t expire or change.  
The main difference is that to open a rpoject from different accounts using the project URL, the project must be [public](https://docs.thunkable.com/settings/manage-your-projects/projects#public-projects).  
To share a [private project](https://docs.thunkable.com/settings/manage-your-projects/projects#private-projects) with other Thunkable accounts you will need to create a share link.
