Salesforce to Salesforce lets you share records with connected organizations. When viewing a shared record, the header shows the record's sharing status. The record may also contain the External Sharing related list, which shows sharing details and status.

| Status of Shared Record | Description |
|---|---|
| Active (sent) | The record has been forwarded to and accepted by an external organization. |
| Active (received) | The record has been sent to you from an external organization, and it has been accepted. |
| Pending (sent) | The record was forwarded to but not yet accepted by an external organization. |
| Inactive | The record is no longer shared with an external organization. |
| Inactive (deleted) | The record was accepted by an external organization, but that organization has deleted the record. |
| Inactive (converted) |
The record is a lead that was accepted by an external organization and converted into an opportunity by that organization. When a lead is converted, Salesforce to Salesforce inactivates the shared record so that it is no longer updated in the subscribing connection. If you change the Lead Status during conversion, it isn’t reflected in the subscribing connection. |
