# Share dashboard content

## Collaborate using shared dashboard links[​](#collaborate-using-shared-dashboard-links "Direct link to Collaborate using shared dashboard links")

Share links that point teammates to the exact data you want them to see. Use these links to direct attention to a specific widget, a key section, or the full dashboard view during investigations, reviews, or everyday analysis.

## What you need[​](#what-you-need "Direct link to What you need")

* A saved dashboard
* The `team-dashboards:Read` [permission](https://docs-docusaurus.kinsta.page/user-guides/custom-dashboards/permissions/.md), which allows you to view public custom dashboards

## Share a widget[​](#share-a-widget "Direct link to Share a widget")

Use a widget link to open the dashboard focused on a specific visualization.

* In the widget’s more actions menu, select **Share widget URL**. This copies a URL that includes the widget’s `widgetID` parameter.
* Or select **Maximize** to open the widget’s enlarged view. This updates the browser URL with the widget’s `widgetID` parameter, which you can copy directly.

Example share widget link:

`https://onlineboutique.coralogix.com/#/dashboards/lRjT6YSeVGFsWsIuckFUK?widgetID=97e73431-94d5-46d6-921a-3e87e60473eb`

For an explanation of each part of the link, see [Understanding dashboard link structure](#understanding-dashboard-link-structure).

Anyone with access to the dashboard can open the link and view the widget in context.

## Share a section[​](#share-a-section "Direct link to Share a section")

Use a section link to open the dashboard scrolled to a specific [section](https://docs-docusaurus.kinsta.page/user-guides/custom-dashboards/tutorials/sections/.md). The section expands automatically.

In the section’s more actions menu, select **Share section URL**. This copies a URL containing the section’s `widgetID` parameter to your clipboard.

Example share section link:

```
https://onlineboutique.coralogix.com/#/dashboards/lRjT6YSeVGFsWsIuckFUK?widgetID=19521dba-2e89-4fa6-8631-8b20c8862b7b
```

For an explanation of each part of the link, see [Understanding dashboard link structure](#understanding-dashboard-link-structure).

Anyone with access to the dashboard can open the link and jump directly to the section.

## Share the full dashboard[​](#share-the-full-dashboard "Direct link to Share the full dashboard")

To share the entire dashboard, select **Share Dashboard URL** in the dashboard more actions menu. This copies the URL to your clipboard.

Use this when you want teammates to see the full layout rather than a specific widget or section.

## Understanding dashboard link structure[​](#understanding-dashboard-link-structure "Direct link to Understanding dashboard link structure")

Dashboard share links follow a consistent format. Each part of the URL determines what dashboard is opened, and which widget or section is brought into view.

```
https://<team>.eu2.coralogix.com/#/dashboards/<dashboard_ID>?widgetID=<target_ID>
```

* Replace `<team>` with your team name
* Replace `eu2.coralogix.com` with your regional [Coralogix domain](https://docs-docusaurus.kinsta.page/user-guides/account-management/account-settings/coralogix-domain/.md)
* Replace `<dashboard_ID>` with the ID of your dashboard
* Replace `<target_ID>` with the unique ID of the widget or section you are sharing

Both widget and section links use the same `widgetID` URL parameter.

Note

If you set a dashboard slug, this slug replaces the dashboard ID in the URL path after `/dashboards/`. This applies to all shared dashboard links. To learn more about dashboard slugs, see [Manage Dashboard Settings](https://docs-docusaurus.kinsta.page/user-guides/custom-dashboards/tutorials/manage-dashboard-settings/.md#dashboard-slug).

Anyone with [sufficient dashboard permissions](#what-you-need) can open the link and be taken directly to the widget or section.

## Save behavior for all shared links[​](#save-behavior-for-all-shared-links "Direct link to Save behavior for all shared links")

Shared links always include the last saved dashboard configuration and the current URL-encoded state.

The dashboard configuration includes:

* Which widgets and sections exist
* How each widget and section is configured
* Where widgets and sections are placed on the dashboard

The URL-encoded state includes:

* Time range selection
* [Variable selections](https://docs-docusaurus.kinsta.page/user-guides/custom-dashboards/tutorials/create-and-manage-variables/.md) for existing dashboard variables
* Dashboard filter selections

For example, a dashboard may include a metric filter named `City` that allows you to select one or more locations. If you choose **Brooklyn** and **Berlin** and then copy the dashboard URL, the selected values are included in the link.

```
https://onlineboutique.coralogix.com/#/dashboards/0TLCRF7eAnOd4hdOs1zXn?f-City=Brooklyn&f-City=Berlin
```

When someone opens the link, the dashboard loads with the same city filter selections already applied.

You **must save the following changes** for them to be included in the shared dashboard:

* Creating, deleting, or renaming dashboard variables
* Creating, deleting, or renaming dashboard filters
* Adding or modifying widgets or sections (including configuration and layout changes)

When a link is shared, the saved configuration is combined with the URL-encoded state. This results in the following behavior:

* **New widgets or new sections**:

  If you create widget or new section and share the link without saving, the dashboard loads the previous saved version, without your new widget or section.

* **Modified widgets or sections**:

  If you edit a widget or section without saving, recipients see the previous saved version, without your changes.

* **Variable and filter selections**:

  If you select a value for an existing variable or filter, the selection is included in the shared link because it is encoded directly in the URL. Saving is not required.

* **Update time range selection**:

  If you change the time range selection, the update is included in the shared link because the time range is encoded directly in the URL. Saving is not required.
