How to use Nobo Page
Here's how to use Nobo Page, the login-free "page with an expiry date". Start with the three basic steps, then read a use case close to your situation or a how-to guide full of sharing tips.
Try creating a page →Three steps to start
- 1
Create a page
Pick a title and an expiry (1 hour to 7 days), then hit Create. No account, no sign-up.
- 2
Write the content
Add text, headings, lists, checklists and links to lay out exactly what you want to share.
- 3
Hand it out by QR or URL
Send the link or post it as a QR code. When the timer runs out, the page deletes itself.
Three links, three roles
Every page comes with three links at different permission levels. A link works like a key — anyone who has it can use it.
Full control — edit, delete, and re-issue links. The Admin link itself can't be re-issued, but you can copy it again anytime while you have it open — so keep it to yourself.
View and write. Share it with the people editing the page with you.
Read-only — safe to hand out. Only the View link can become a QR code, handy for posting at a venue or shop.
Blocks you can add
- Heading A bold section title.
- Text Multi-line plain text.
- List A bullet-point list.
- Checklist Items anyone can tick.
- Link A URL with a label and note.
Tips
- Save the “backup (links + QR)” offered right after creation — it lets you reprint the QR later from any device.
- Pages are never indexed or searchable. Only people with the link can open them.
- Need it more private? Choose “Link + passphrase” at creation, and share the passphrase separately from the link.
- Don’t enter passwords, payment details, or other sensitive information.
Expiry & deletion
Pages are deleted automatically within an hour of expiring. Within 72 hours, recovery may be possible using your Admin link (no guarantee). See contact for details.
Real-world use cases
Just "use Nobo Page" isn't very helpful. For each situation, we explain what to put on the page, where to post the QR, when to create it and what to watch out for — with a worked example.
