# Share Links

> Create shareable links to your roadmap

## Overview

Share your roadmap with stakeholders using shareable links. Recipients can view your roadmap in a read-only format without needing an account.

## Why Use Share Links?

Share links are ideal when you want to:

* Share with external stakeholders who don't have accounts
* Embed roadmaps in presentations or documents
* Provide read-only access to specific views
* Create persistent links that stay updated

<Info>

</Info>

## Managing Share Links

### View Active Links

1. Open the **Share** menu
2. See all active share links for this workspace
3. Each link shows its format and creation date

### Disable a Link

1. Find the link in the Share menu
2. Click **Disable** or the trash icon
3. The link immediately stops working

<Warning>
  Disabling a link cannot be undone. You'll need to create a new link if you want to share again.
</Warning>

## Link Behavior

### Live Updates

Share links show current data:

* Changes you make appear for link viewers
* No need to regenerate links after updates
* Data refreshes when recipients reload

### Filters & Configuration

The share link captures:

* Current filter settings
* Grouping configuration
* View type (Timeline or List)

<Tip>
  Create different share links for different audiences by applying specific filters before sharing.
</Tip>

## Security Considerations

* Share links provide read-only access
* Anyone with the link can view the roadmap
* Links do not expire by default
* Disable links when no longer needed
