# Sharing Links: Dashboard & Mention Wall

> Share real time insights with your team using Kommon Poll shareable Dashboard and Mention Wall links.

> Share live, read-only Kommon Poll views through Dashboard and Mention Wall links.

Kommon Poll share links let stakeholders view insights without receiving an export file. Use them when the audience needs a live view that can be opened in a browser.

You can share two main view types:

- **Dashboard** - the analytics view with KPI tiles, charts, tabs, and breakdowns.
- **Mention Wall** - a live-style feed of individual mentions for monitoring screens and real-time awareness.

## 1. Before You Share

Check the context before generating a link:

1. Open the correct saved search or result.
2. Confirm the active team is correct.
3. Set the date range.
4. Apply any filters you want the audience to see.
5. Review the dashboard and mention examples.
6. Decide whether the audience needs the full dashboard or only the Mention Wall.

Share links should be treated like access links. Anyone with the link may be able to view the shared page depending on your organization's configuration.

## 5. Copy And Distribute The Link

The link workflow is:

2. **Copy Link** copies it to your clipboard.
3. Paste it into the communication channel you use.

Common channels include:

- Email
- Slack

If the copied link does not open for the recipient, check whether their network, browser, or organization settings block access.

## 6. Sharing Best Practices

- Share a dashboard when stakeholders need numbers and charts.
- Share a Mention Wall when stakeholders need a real-time content feed.
- Apply filters before generating the link if the audience should see only a subset.
- Avoid sharing overly broad searches with external audiences.
- Use exports when the audience needs a fixed snapshot.
- Use share links when the audience needs an updated view.
- Regenerate or redistribute links after major search changes if your workflow depends on the latest context.

Share links are designed for visibility. Reports and CSV exports are designed for fixed evidence, archiving, and offline analysis.
