When you view a pinboard in ThoughtSpot, you can share it with others.

When you share a Pinboard, you share a live link to the Pinboard that reflects the latest version of it. When someone else views the Pinboard you shared with them, they see the most recently saved version with the most recent data.

You do not have to be an administrator or the Pinboard owner to share saved Pinboards. Any user can share them, based on the access levels the user has.

You can share a pinboard from the list of pinboards on the main pinboards page, or from the pinboard itself.
