Choose who opens each report or prototype: named people or your whole company. Your agent publishes the file, with no project and no redeploy.

Answer
Use Display when you share one report or prototype with named people or with your company. Access is a setting on each doc. With no account, your agent gets a 30-day public preview and a claim link. Display Team costs $59 a month, billed yearly, and viewers are free. Keep Netlify Drop when you want a public site fast, or when a file will become a project with a build, functions and a repo. After you claim a drop, your plan and your team's project visibility decide who can open it.
Both turn one file into a URL, and Display lets you choose who opens each page.

Netlify Drop gives a file a URL. To choose who opens it, you claim a project and configure your team's settings.
Share a doc with named email addresses and give each person a role: Viewer, Commenter, Contributor or Editor. A Netlify password is one secret for everyone who has it.
Team and Business show who opened each doc, and when. A shared password records no names.
Each report stays one doc at one URL. Your agent publishes the next version to the same URL, with no redeploy. Spaces and folders organize the docs.
Fix any line right where you read it.
A Q3 delivery report is open on Display, with 89.7% in its On-time rate tile. Someone selects Edit in the header, changes the tile to 94.4% on the page, and selects Save changes. The report reopens as version 4 at the same URL.
Shows this step in the loop
Choose who can open one doc, a folder or a whole Space.
Every doc stays private until you share it with people and groups.
On Solo and higher plans, colleagues use the Google or Microsoft account they already have. Readers need no seat.
Invite clients and partners by email, and give each one a role: Viewer, Commenter, Contributor or Editor.
On Team and Business, see who opened which doc, and when, before you follow up.
Netlify Drop is a quick route to a public site, and Netlify runs that site as it grows. Display is for files that only named people or your company open.
“We gave it to a few people, expecting the super users who’d been asking for a publishing platform. We didn’t realize the whole business would pick it up.”
A Space for every team, with folders inside and its own permissions.
You and your agents can search every doc you can open.
Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, on personal or company plans. One doc, one URL.
Develop applications that pull data from your sources.
Pull data from the sources your team already uses.
Yes, for public sites and for multi-file projects with a build, functions and redirects. Keep Netlify for those, and use Display for a report or prototype that only named people or your company open.
A new doc is private by default. You can share it with people and groups, open it to everyone in your company, or make it public. People sign in with Google, Microsoft or a one-time password before a private or company doc opens. Enterprise adds SAML sign-in, for example with Okta.
No. We do not use customer content to train or fine-tune any AI or machine-learning model.
Yes. Your agent publishes an HTML or Markdown file with no account and gets a preview URL and a claim link. Anyone with the link can open the preview for 30 days. Claiming is free, and then you choose who opens the page. See how to publish without an account.
A drop made without signing in has a temporary password until you claim it. After you claim it, your plan and your team's project-visibility setting decide whether it is public. For finer control, you add Password Protection or authentication in the project's code.
Teammates comment on any line of the page. People with edit access select Edit and change the doc right on the page. Your agent reads the doc and its comments, publishes the next version at the same URL, and resolves the threads it answered. Each save or publish adds a new version. On Solo and higher plans, you can open and restore earlier versions.
Yes. Invite them by email to a doc or a folder, and give them a role: Viewer, Commenter, Contributor or Editor. They sign in with a one-time password, Google or Microsoft. They do not join your organization.
Yes. Display does not check anyone's AI plan. Everyone signs in to your Display organization with their work email, whether their agent runs on Claude Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise. They all publish to and open the same docs.
Any agent that writes HTML or Markdown, for example Claude Code, Claude, ChatGPT, Codex and Cursor. Agents connect through the Display MCP server, the CLI or the API. Each person can use a different agent on the same doc.
HTML and Markdown files open as pages: reports, dashboards, specs, prototypes and slides. Folders also store other files, for example images, PDFs and data files, so people and agents find everything in one place.
Yes, for the docs that your team and your agents write: specs, plans, reports and wikis. Spaces and folders organize them, search finds them, and people comment and edit right on the page. To move existing pages, export them from Notion or Confluence as HTML or Markdown, and ask your agent to publish them.
Yes. On Solo and higher plans, every doc shows its view count. Team and Business also show who opened each doc, and when.
Yes. An Owner adds the domains of those services to the domain allowlist in Settings. Your published HTML pages can then get data from those domains and send data to them, for example from a form to a webhook. The other service must also accept the request. Display does not add a login or an API key, so keep secrets out of the page. The Business plan includes the domain allowlist.
Display works with Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, ChatGPT and any other agent that writes HTML or Markdown.
