# Share a dashboard
|
|
|
|
You can share a dashboard as a direct link or as a snapshot. You can also export a dashboard. If you have made changes to the dashboard, verify those changes are saved before sharing.
|
|
|
|
To share a dashboard:
|
|
|
|
1. Go to the home page of your Grafana instance.
|
|
1. Click on the share icon in the top navigation. The share dialog opens and shows the Link tab.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Use direct link
|
|
|
|
The Link tab has the current time range, template variables and theme selected by default. You can optionally select a shortened URL to share.
|
|
|
|
To share a direct link:
|
|
|
|
1. Click **Copy**. This copies the default or the shortened URL to the clipboard.
|
|
1. Send the copied URL to a Grafana user with authorization to view the link.
|
|
|
|
## Publish a snapshot
|
|
|
|
A dashboard snapshot shares an interactive dashboard publicly. Grafana strips sensitive data 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 with the link.
|
|
|
|
You can publish snapshots to your local instance or to [snapshots.raintank.io](http://snapshots.raintank.io). The latter is a free service
|
|
provided by Grafana Labs 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 removed after a certain time period.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To publish a snapshot:
|
|
|
|
1. Click on **Local Snapshot** or **Publish to snapshots.raintank.io**. This generates the link of the snapshot.
|
|
1. Copy the snapshot link, and share it either within your organization or publicly on the web.
|
|
|
|
In case you created a snapshot by mistake, click **delete snapshot** to remove the snapshot from your Grafana instance.
|
|
|
|
## Dashboard export
|
|
|
|
Grafana dashboards can easily be exported and imported. For more information, refer to [Export and import dashboards]({{< relref "../dashboards/export-import.md" >}}).
