Share a Patch
Print a patch sheet listing every fixture's type, mode, and addresses as a PDF, or publish it as a shareable public link.
A patch sheet lists every fixture in your project with its type, mode, universe, start address, channel range, and count. The Fixtures panel toolbar has two ways to share it: a printable PDF and a public link.
Print as PDF
Print as PDF generates a patch sheet on your machine. It works offline and needs no account. The sheet starts with a header that shows the project name, the date, and totals (fixtures, universes, channels). Below the header, it has one row per fixture, sorted by universe and address. Spectralite builds the document and opens a save dialog so you can store or print it.
Create a shareable link
Create shareable link uploads a snapshot of the patch and returns a public URL at spectralite.studio/patch/.... Anyone with the link can view the sheet in a browser without signing in. To publish, you must sign in, because each share belongs to your account.
Once a project has a link, the action becomes Update shared link. When you publish again, Spectralite keeps the same URL and replaces its contents with the current patch. People who already have the link then see your latest changes.
A share expires 30 days after the last time you published it. Each new publish resets the 30-day window. To remove a link before it expires, use Stop sharing. This deletes the share and clears it from the project.
Manage your shared links
The Shared Patches tab in your account dashboard lists every link that you published. For each link, it shows the fixture and universe totals, the time of the last update, and the time until the link expires. In this tab, you can copy or open a link. To stop sharing a link, delete it.
