Sharing

This page summarizes the ways to share a notebook's content with other users or externally. You can access these from Share on the notebook screen.

There's sharing through granting permissions, and sharing through snapshots (report / public link / signed embed). See Notebook permissions for details on permissions.

Key features

• Granting permissions: basic permissions based on the folder (workspace / teamspace / private), plus additional notebook permissions
• Report: publish a notebook as a snapshot. For guest invitations, see Invitations and joining
• Public link: a public link and embed that don't require login
• Signed embed: embedding in an external app using an API key

Comparing sharing methods

Method	Scope of operation	Authentication / permissions
Granting permissions	Editing, running SQL, parameters, Explorer	Login required; connection permission also required
Report	Viewing; running SQL, parameters, and Explorer depend on publish settings	Login required; connection permission not required
Public link	View only	Login not required
Signed embed	Viewing; running SQL, parameters, and Explorer depend on settings	Login not required; authenticated with an API key and token

With snapshot sharing (report / public link / signed embed), changes to the notebook itself aren't automatically reflected. You need to select Publish changes to reflect them.
