Stakeholder Portal
Share feature progress, collect feedback, and get approval from stakeholders — without requiring them to have a Storymate account.
Overview
The Stakeholder Portal lets you create shareable links to features, stories, and roadmaps. External stakeholders (product managers, executives, clients) can view the content, leave feedback, and approve/reject stories through a lightweight web interface.
Creating a share link
On any feature detail page, click Share → Create Share Link. Set an expiration (24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or never). Optionally set a passcode for additional security.
Stakeholder view
The shared page shows the feature description, all stories with their status, and acceptance criteria. Stakeholders can:
- Read — view all content in a clean, mobile-friendly layout.
- Comment — leave feedback on individual stories or the feature as a whole. Comments appear in the app's activity feed.
- Approve/Reject — mark individual stories as approved or rejected. These status changes sync back to the main application in real time.
Managing share links
From the feature overflow menu → Share Links, view all active links, see how many times each was viewed, and revoke access at any time.
Use cases
- Sprint review — share completed stories with the product owner for sign-off before the review meeting.
- Client approval — send a feature preview to the client for approval before development begins.
- Cross-team visibility — let adjacent teams (design, documentation, QA) view feature progress without giving them full app access.
Security
Links use cryptographically random tokens. Expired or revoked links show a "This link is no longer active" message. All access is logged in the audit log.
