Sharing Links

The fastest way to share what you're looking at with a teammate is to use the Copy link button in the exploration header. No saving is required.

How it works

Shared links have two behaviors:

• Live saved exploration: a link to a Team exploration with no unsaved changes opens the shared exploration, including changes saved to it later.
• Specific version: an ad-hoc exploration, unsaved changes to a Team exploration, or a snapshot shared from Personal explorations stays as it was when shared.

A working version of a Team exploration remains connected to the shared saved exploration. A snapshot from Personal explorations is detached: it lets your teammate see what you shared without giving them access to your private saved exploration.

When someone opens an ad-hoc, snapshot, or working-version link and starts making changes, the URL in their browser updates to reflect their modifications. This means:

• Your link stays unchanged: they can't accidentally modify what you shared
• They get their own URL that they can share with others

When to use link sharing

Link sharing is ideal for:

• Quick questions – "Can you take a look at this?"
• Sharing a specific view or insight with someone
• Collaborating on ad-hoc analysis without cluttering your saved explorations
• Sending a snapshot of your current work-in-progress

When to save instead

If you want to organize an exploration and find it again later, save it to Personal explorations or Team explorations.

Saved explorations are better for:

• Dashboards and reports that get checked regularly
• Analyses you return to regularly
• Building a reusable library for yourself or your team

TIP

Save reusable explorations, and use links for quick collaboration and one-off questions.
