#  Share and use data outside Parse.ly

It’s possible to share Parse.ly data and insights without granting full [user access](https://docs.parse.ly/account-management/users/)
to the [Parse.ly Dashboard](https://docs.parse.ly/dashboard/), as well as use data
outside the Dashboard. This can be useful when working with freelancers, clients,
consultants, and others.

## Shared links

Shareable links are available to Admins and users with [permission to generate shared links](https://docs.parse.ly/account-management/users/#edit-access).

Many Dashboard tabs and pages have a “Share” button in the upper right corner. Clicking
this button generates a unique URL that can be shared with anyone, even those without
Dashboard user access.

The link allows all of the data from the page where it was generated to be viewed.**
Those who use this link without Dashboard access will not be able to navigate to
see any other information in the Dashboard.** If someone tries to do so, they will
be prompted to log into the Dashboard before proceeding.

Shared links do not expire, but access can be revoked via the Shared Links page 
of the [account menu](https://docs.parse.ly/account-management/).

## Exports

Dashboard tabs such as [Posts/Pages](https://docs.parse.ly/dashboard/posts-tab/),
[Authors](https://docs.parse.ly/dashboard/authors-tab/), [Sections](https://docs.parse.ly/dashboard/sections-tab/),
and more have an “Export” button that allows download of up to 10,000 rows of data
in [Spreadsheet (XLSX) or CSV format](https://docs.parse.ly/measuring-reporting-performance/reports-guide/html-pdf-csv-xlsx/).
These exports include additional breakdowns and then can be further shared in other
file formats as desired.

The “Schedule” button allows a data export of the current Dashboard view to be scheduled
for regular delivery.

You can also download Parse.ly data using the [Top Performers Export](https://docs.parse.ly/measuring-reporting-performance/reports-guide/top-performers-export/)
or [Stats Over Time Export](https://docs.parse.ly/measuring-reporting-performance/reports-guide/stats-over-time-export/).

## Print

Use the “Print” button on any Dashboard tab or page to print the current view — 
or save it as a [PDF file](https://docs.parse.ly/measuring-reporting-performance/reports-guide/html-pdf-csv-xlsx/).
This allows easy sharing with team members and leadership.

## Reports

[Reports](https://docs.parse.ly/measuring-reporting-performance/reports-guide/) 
can be emailed to team members and associates without Dashboard user access. Add
email addresses to send a report to during [report creation](https://docs.parse.ly/measuring-reporting-performance/reports-guide/create-new/)
or after a [report has initially run](https://docs.parse.ly/measuring-reporting-performance/reports-guide/rerun-edit-delete/).
