Using Deep Links for Sharing Specific PRD Features

The deep linking feature allows users to share specific features within a Product Requirements Document (PRD) directly. This article will guide you through using this functionality to improve collaboration and communication within your team.

What are Deep Links? Deep links are URLs that point to a specific piece of content within a web application, in this case, a particular feature within your PRD.

How to Generate and Use Deep Links:

  1. Accessing the Feature:

    • Open your PRD in the Crowdbotics dashboard.

    • Navigate to the specific feature you want to share.

  2. Identifying the Deep Link:

    • Once you've selected a feature, look at the URL in your browser's address bar.

    • You'll notice that the URL now includes a unique identifier for the selected feature.

  3. Copying the Deep Link:

    • Simply copy the entire URL from your browser's address bar.

    • This URL is now your deep link to the specific feature.

  4. Sharing the Deep Link:

    • Share this URL with your team members via email, chat, or any other communication platform.

  5. Using a Shared Deep Link:

    • When a team member clicks on the shared link, they will be directed to: a. The exact feature within the PRD (if they're already logged in). b. The login page, followed by the specific feature (if they're not logged in).

Benefits of Using Deep Links:

  1. Time-saving: Quickly reference specific parts of the PRD during discussions or reviews.
  2. Context preservation: Ensure everyone is looking at the same information when discussing a particular feature.

Troubleshooting:

  • If a deep link doesn't work, ensure the recipient has the necessary permissions to access the PRD.
  • If you're unable to generate a deep link, try refreshing the page or logging out and back in.

Conclusion: Deep links for PRD features streamline communication and collaboration within your team. By allowing direct access to specific features, this tool helps maintain context and saves time in discussions and reviews.
