Signal vs Guest access
Your board is for the team. Give customers a page.
Most project tools let you invite a customer as a guest. They need an account, they see your board, and they see changes the moment they happen.
Pick Orbit Signal when
Customers should see status, not your internal tasks, notes, or guesses.
Stay with guest access when
The customer works with you in the same board every day.

The same moment, both ways
A client wants to see where their website project stands.
With guest access
- Invite them as a guest. They create an account.
- Hide the hours and fee columns, and hope you hid them all.
- They see every internal status change as it happens.
With Orbit Signal
- Send them a private link. No account.
- Only the status, date, action, and file columns you mapped appear.
- A stuck item waits for your wording before they see it.
Honest limit: Clients can’t comment on individual tasks or subitems. If the client works inside your board every day, guest access fits better.
