# Playlists
A _playlist
- is a list of dashboards that are displayed in a sequence. You might use a playlist to build situational awareness or to present your metrics to your team or visitors.
Grafana automatically scales dashboards to any resolution, which makes them perfect for big screens.
You can access the Playlist feature from Grafana's side menu, in the Dashboards submenu.

1. Next to the dashboard(s) you want to add to your playlist, click **Add to playlist**.

You can start a playlist in five different view modes, which determine how the menus and navigation bar are displayed on the dashboards.
By default, each dashboard is displayed for the amount of time entered in the Interval field, which can be set while creating or editing a playlist. Once a playlist is started, it can be controlled using the navbar at the top of your screen.

# Share a dashboard
Share a dashboard via the share icon in the top nav. This opens the share dialog where you
can get a link to the current dashboard with the current selected time range and template variables. If you have
made changes to the dashboard, make sure those are saved before sending the link. Below are ways to share a dashboard.
## Dashboard snapshot
A dashboard snapshot is an instant way to share an interactive dashboard publicly. When created, we <strong>strip sensitive data</strong> like queries
(metric, template and annotation) and panel links, leaving only the visible metric data and series names embedded into your dashboard. Dashboard
snapshots can be accessed by anyone who has the link and can reach the URL.
{{< docs-imagebox img="/img/docs/v50/share_panel_modal.png" max-width="700px" >}}
## Publish snapshots
You can publish snapshots to your local instance or to [snapshot.raintank.io](http://snapshot.raintank.io). The latter is a free service
provided by [Raintank](http://raintank.io), that allows you to publish dashboard snapshots to an external Grafana instance.
The same rules still apply, anyone with the link can view it. You can set an expiration time if you want the snapshot to be removed
after a certain time period.

# Share a panel
Click a panel title to open the panel menu, then click share in the panel menu to open the Share Panel dialog. Here you have access to a link that will take you to exactly this panel with the current time range and selected template variables. Below are ways to share a panel.
## Direct Link Rendered Image
You also get a link to render a PNG image of the panel. Useful if you want to share an image of the panel. Read more about the requirements and how to configure image rendering [here](/administration/image_rendering/).
Example of a link to a server-side rendered PNG:
```bash
https://play.grafana.org/d/000000012/grafana-play-home?orgId=1&from=1568719680173&to=1568726880174&panelId=4&fullscreen
```
#### Query String Parameters For Server-Side Rendered Images
- **width**: width in pixels. Default is 800.
- **height**: height in pixels. Default is 400.
- **tz**: timezone in the format `UTC%2BHH%3AMM` where HH and MM are offset in hours and minutes after UTC
- **timeout**: number of seconds. The timeout can be increased if the query for the panel needs more than the default 30 seconds.
## Embed Panel
You can embed a panel using an iframe on another web site. This tab will show you the html that you need to use.
> **Note:** This sharing requires [allow_embedding]({{< relref "../installation/configuration.md#allow-embedding" >}}) enabled and anonymous access, or proper configuration of the [cookie_samesite]({{< relref "../installation/configuration.md#cookie-samesite" >}}) setting.
Example:
```html
<iframe src="https://snapshot.raintank.io/dashboard-solo/snapshot/y7zwi2bZ7FcoTlB93WN7yWO4aMiz3pZb?from=1493369923321&to=1493377123321&panelId=4" width="650" height="300" frameborder="0"></iframe>
```
Below there should be an interactive Grafana graph embedded in an iframe:
<iframe src="https://snapshot.raintank.io/dashboard-solo/snapshot/y7zwi2bZ7FcoTlB93WN7yWO4aMiz3pZb?from=1493369923321&to=1493377123321&panelId=4" width="650" height="300" frameborder="0"></iframe>
#### Export Panel Data
{{< docs-imagebox img="/img/docs/v50/export_panel_data.png" max-width="500px" >}}
The submenu for a panel can be found by clicking on the title of a panel and then on the More submenu.
This menu contains two options for exporting data:
- The panel JSON (the specification and not the data) can be exported or updated via the panel context menu.
- Panel data can be exported in the CSV format for Table and Graph Panels.
