# How to share a saved view

Each saved view gets its own view-only link, separate from the full-map link. Turn on the link for a single filtered perspective, copy it, and send it to anyone, no Smaply account needed on their end.

{% hint style="warning" icon="list-check" %}

#### Prerequisites

You have a saved view on the map. If you haven't created one yet, see [How to save and apply a view](/journey-maps/filtering-and-views/how-to-save-and-apply-a-view.md).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" icon="tag" %}

#### Plan availability

Saved views are available on the **Repository** plan and above, so per-view sharing is too. The view-only link itself works on every plan.
{% endhint %}

#### How to create a share link for a saved view

Apply the view first so the Share panel knows which perspective to link. The panel title names the active view, which is how you confirm you're sharing the right one.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Apply the saved view**

Open the **Views** menu above the map and select the view you want to share. The map filters to that view and the **Views** toggle relabels to the view's name.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Open the Share menu**

Click **Share** in the top-right corner of the editor, then select **Share link (view-only)**.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Enable the link**

The panel opens titled **Share this journey view '\[view name]'**. Click **Enable** next to **Create share link (view-only)** to generate the link.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Copy the link**

Click **Copy Link** to copy the generated URL, which sits on `https://www.smaply.app/sharing/`. Anyone who opens it sees a read-only version of the map with this view's filter already applied. They don't need a Smaply account.

<figure><img src="/files/denKPf8HKjbxzfXh4u4y" alt="The enabled per-view share panel showing a smaply.app/sharing link, a Copy Link button, a Disable link toggle, a Password required checkbox, and a Generate button."><figcaption><p>The link is live and ready to copy</p></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

The shared page mirrors the editor and updates live as you change the map. It is not a snapshot, so viewers always see the current state. No view counts or visitor data are tracked on the link.

#### How to add a password to the link

In the share panel, tick **Password required**, then click **Generate** for a password or type your own. A password needs at least 8 characters using a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. Use the copy icon to save it, and send it to viewers separately from the link.

{% hint style="info" icon="tag" %}
Password protection is available on the **Framework** plan and above.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}

#### **Important: Copy the password before you close the panel**

The password is shown once. If you lose it, generate a new one and re-share it.
{% endhint %}

#### How to disable the link

Click **Disable link** in the share panel. Access is revoked immediately. The toggle is independent per view, so disabling one view's link leaves the full-map link and any other views' links untouched.

{% hint style="warning" %}

#### **Important: Re-enabling creates a new URL**

A disabled link can't be resumed at the same address. Turning it back on generates a fresh URL, and the old one stays invalid. Anyone you want to keep sharing with needs the new link.
{% endhint %}

#### How sharing a view differs from sharing the full map

The **Share** dropdown is the same with or without a view applied. What changes is the result: with a view applied, **Share link (view-only)** produces a link scoped to that view's filter; with no view applied, it shares the whole map. Each link is a separate URL with its own on/off toggle.

For a link to the complete, unfiltered map, see [How to share a journey map via HTML link](/sharing-and-exporting/how-to-share-a-journey-map-via-html-link.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://helpdesk.smaply.app/sharing-and-exporting/how-to-share-a-saved-view.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
