When setting up data sharing options in Salesforce Setup there are two unfurling options a Slack Record Layout applies to.

## Data Viewable by Slack Default Render User

## Data Viewable by User Sharing the Link

![The Data Sharing Configuration Page displaying the Data Viewable by User Sharing Link option.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-slack_apps-264-0-0-production-enus/68481d6c-8c01-419d-9d5c-ebe6efa3b5f3/slack_apps/images/unfurl_verify_data.png)

When either option is selected, unfurling initially looks for an Unfurling Slack Record Layout for the Object Type referenced by the shared link. If there isn’t a Slack Record Layout assigned to the user for that Object Type, then the object's Compact Layout is used to determine which fields to show in the link preview content.
