Share answers and liveboards

There are multiple ways to share visualized data in Explore with other people. You can share answers and liveboards that you or other people created.

Save an answer or pin it to a liveboard

After you create a visualization by searching data, there are options for saving it.
Create a standalone answer
If you select More > Save, the visualization becomes a standalone answer.
Pin it to a liveboard
If you select Pin, you add the answer to a new or existing liveboard. A liveboard is a live dashboard that displays multiple answers.
You can do one or both options. For example, you can pin the answer to a liveboard without saving it as a standalone answer. Users can still find the pinned answer when they search.

Make answers and liveboards discoverable

Answers and liveboards are discoverable by default. Discoverable means that members of the same user group who have access to the underlying data source can search for it in Explore and view it. To hide an answer or liveboard from all other users, deselect Make this answer discoverable when you save it.

Share with view or edit permissions

To share an answer or liveboard with specific users or groups within your organization, open the answer or liveboard and select Share . You can give them permission to View or Edit and add a notification message.
