Sharing & Community Templates

Planner.coach gives you two ways to get your work in front of other coaches: share links for direct distribution and community publishing for broader discovery. You can also import templates published by other coaches to jumpstart your own planning.

Share links

Generate a shareable link for any activity, session, or training program. Anyone with the link can view the full plan -- no account required.

Create a share link

1. Open the activity, session, or program you want to share.
2. Click the Share button (or share icon).
3. Copy the generated link and send it however you like -- email, messaging app, or social media.

Visibility options

When creating a share link, choose how discoverable it should be:

• Public -- The shared item appears on your public coach profile, so anyone browsing your profile can find it.
• Unlisted -- Only people with the direct link can view it. It won't appear on your profile or in search results.

You can switch between public and unlisted at any time, or revoke the link entirely to remove access.

What viewers see

Shared links open a read-only view with the full plan details:

• Activities -- Title, description, setup instructions, coaching points, and the canvas diagram.
• Sessions -- All phases, activities, durations, and diagrams. Logged-in viewers can clone the session into their own workspace.
• Programs -- Workout structure, exercises, sets, and reps.

Each shared page credits you as the author and displays your coach logo if you've set one up.

Publish to the community library

Publishing goes a step further than sharing -- it adds your activity or athlete metric template to the community library where any Planner.coach user can discover and import it.

Publish an activity

1. Open the activity you want to publish.
2. Click Publish to Community.
3. Confirm the details -- title, sport, category, difficulty, and tags are pulled from the activity. The full canvas diagram, setup instructions, coaching points, and equipment list are included.
4. Choose visibility: Public (discoverable in the community library) or Unlisted (accessible via direct link only).

Once published, other coaches can find your drill in the community browser and import it with one click. Your name is credited as the author, and you can see how many times it's been imported.

Publish an athlete metric template

Athlete metric templates can also be published. The community version includes metric names, units, and direction (higher-is-better vs lower-is-better) -- no actual athlete data is ever shared.

Update or unpublish

If you improve the original activity, you can sync those changes to the published version. To remove something from the community, unpublish it -- this hides it from discovery but doesn't affect copies that other coaches have already imported.

Import from the community

Browse published templates from the Community section. Filter by sport, category, difficulty, or search by keyword.

1. Click on a template to see its full details -- instructions, coaching points, diagram, and author info.
2. Click Use or Import to add a copy to your own library.

The imported copy is independent -- you can rename it, edit the diagram, or change coaching points without affecting the original.

How sharing differs from publishing

Public coach profile

Enable your public profile from Settings to showcase your shared and published content. Your profile displays your name, bio, logo, and all public share links and community templates. This gives other coaches a way to browse your full catalog.
