Share a graph

You can share a graph with other users using the options below:

  • Get quick share link: Generate a shareable link that provides read-only access to your graph. Note that this option is only available for users belonging to the same Organization. To share a graph across Organizations, ensure the graph is saved in a shared Project accessible to both Organizations.
  • Export graph to SVG: Generate and download a static image of your lineage graph in .svg format.

You can also select Share in the upper right of the application to open the sidebar and view Roles details. From here, you can turn on link sharing or give a user or group access to your graph.
