# Share a dashboard

> Turn on a public link so anyone can view a dashboard, no account needed: what viewers see, what stays private, and how to stop sharing.

Everyone in your organization can already see every dashboard. To show one to someone outside it, an advisor, a partner or a contractor, turn on its **public link**. Anyone with the link can view the dashboard, read-only, without an account.

## Share a dashboard

1. **Open Share**

   On the dashboard, click **Share**.

2. **Switch on Public**

   Turn on **Public**. Access changes from *Only members of this organization* to *Anyone with the link can view*, and a **Public link** appears.

3. **Send the link**

   Click **Copy link**, or **Open public view** to see what others will see. The button on the dashboard now reads **Public**, so you can tell it’s shared.

## What viewers see, and what they don’t

Viewers see the dashboard’s name and description, its layout and text widgets, and each chart drawn from its latest saved result. They never see:

- the SQL behind any chart;
- your data sources, or anything else in your organization;
- who made the dashboard;
- error messages from your database.

The public page never runs a query: it shows the results already saved, from the last time each query ran. Run all queries on the dashboard before sending the link, so the numbers are current. See [Keeping numbers fresh](https://tini.so/docs/dashboards#freshness).

> **Important: The link is the key**
>
> Anyone who has the link can view the dashboard, including anyone it gets forwarded to. Share it the way you’d share a document link, and only share dashboards whose numbers you’re happy for the recipient to see.

## Stop sharing

Open **Share** and turn **Public** off. The link stops working straight away, for everyone. If you turn it on again later, you get a **new** link; the old one keeps not working.

## Link previews

Paste a public link into Slack, X, Facebook or a messaging app, and it unfurls into a card with the dashboard’s name and description. Previews show only what the public page already shows.
