Sharing Datasets
Share datasets with team members, stakeholders, or external users via public share links. Control access with email gates, set expiration dates, and track engagement through share analytics.
Creating a Share Link
- Open a dataset and click the Share tab
- Click Create Share Link
- Configure access settings:
- Email gate — toggle on to require email verification before access
- Allowed emails (optional, requires email gate) — restrict access to specific email addresses
- Expiration (optional) — set a date/time when the link automatically expires
- Click Create
A share URL is generated and displayed. Copy it and send it to your recipients.
Access Modes
Public Access (No Email Gate)
Toggle the email gate off for unrestricted access:
- Recipients open the link and immediately see the dataset
- No email collection, no access control
- Best for quick demos or public reference data
Open Email Gate
Toggle the email gate on without specifying allowed emails:
- Recipients enter any email address to access the dataset
- Useful for lead capture — you can see who accessed the data in share analytics
- Best for prospect demos or marketing data previews
Restricted Email Gate
Toggle the email gate on and add specific addresses in the Allowed emails field:
- Only listed email addresses can access the dataset
- Unauthorized emails are rejected with an access-denied message
- Best for stakeholder reviews, client deliverables, or controlled team access
Share Permissions
Shared datasets are read-only. Recipients can:
- View the dataset schema
- Browse generated data in a table view
- See version history
- Export data (if enabled)
Recipients cannot modify the schema, generate new data, delete versions, change metadata, or create bindings.
Setting Expiration
Add an expiration to auto-revoke access:
- When creating or editing a share link, click Set Expiration
- Pick a date and time from the date picker
- Click Save
After the expiration time, recipients see an "This link has expired" message.
Use expiration for:
- Time-limited demos
- Temporary stakeholder access during a review cycle
- Quarterly data snapshots shared externally
Managing Share Links
The Share tab on a dataset lists all active share links with:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Link | The share URL (click to copy) |
| Email gate | Whether email verification is required |
| Allowed emails | Restricted email list (if configured) |
| Expires | Expiration date/time, or "Never" |
| Accesses | Total number of times the link was opened |
| Created | When the share link was created |
Editing a Share Link
- Click a share link row in the Share tab
- Update the email gate, allowed emails, or expiration
- Click Save
Changes take effect immediately. Existing users retain access unless removed from the allowed emails list.
Revoking a Share Link
- Click the more options menu (three dots) on the share link row
- Select Revoke
- Confirm in the dialog
The link is permanently disabled. Recipients see an access-denied error.
Share Analytics
Track how share links are used:
- Click a share link row in the Share tab
- Click the Analytics section to expand it
Analytics show:
- Total accesses — how many times the link was opened
- Unique emails — distinct email addresses (if email gate is enabled)
- Last accessed — most recent access timestamp
- Access log — table of individual access events with email, timestamp, and IP address
Use analytics to:
- Track stakeholder engagement with shared data
- Identify who accessed the dataset and when
- Validate that email gates are working as expected
Common Use Cases
Demo for Prospects
Create a public link with no email gate and a two-week expiration:
- Toggle email gate off
- Set expiration to two weeks from now
- Share the link in your outreach email
Stakeholder Review
Create a restricted link for specific reviewers:
- Toggle email gate on
- Add reviewer email addresses in Allowed emails
- Set expiration to the end of the review period
Team Collaboration
Create a restricted link for your team:
- Toggle email gate on
- Add team member email addresses
- Leave expiration as Never
Lead Capture
Create an open email gate to collect contact information:
- Toggle email gate on
- Leave Allowed emails empty (accepts any email)
- Check Analytics to see who accessed the dataset
Troubleshooting
Recipient can't access the link
Check that their email is in the Allowed emails list (if the email gate is restricted). Edit the share link to add their address.
Link shows "expired" message
The expiration date has passed. Edit the share link to extend the expiration, or create a new link.
Share link returns a 404
The link was revoked or deleted. Create a new share link from the Share tab.
