# Share a Visualization

Share a visualization with your colleagues by posting to Chatter, getting its unique URL, downloading a screenshot of it, or downloading its filtered data. A Chatter post provides an image and a link to the asset—lens, dashboard, or app—in CRM Analytics. Colleagues with the link and access to the asset can drill down and explore the information that’s presented. To share without giving access to the asset, use the download options.

    Note To share a visualization, you must give access to the app that contains it. Lenses, datasets, and dashboards within the default Shared App are accessible to all CRM Analytics users, unless administrators have restricted access. All other apps are private unless someone with Manager access to the app has shared it with a specific user, group, or role.
