With the **Share view** option, you can allow other users to see your current view of a module (for example, selected column views or layout mode). 

The view can be shared by sending an automatically generated URL link. 

> ℹ️ Remember that the shared view may vary because security settings are still respected and not shared. Also, suppose there is a mismatch between the environments (for example, the shared parameter name differs in different versions). In that case, the value will not be overwritten, and the user’s settings or default values will be used.

The shareable link expires **360 days** **after its last use**. If the link is frequently used and remains valid, there is no need to manually generate a new link every 360 days.

Opening **shared view settings** will overwrite your local settings. After receiving the URL link, you can decide whether to keep your local settings the same.

## Shareable data

> ℹ️ When a user shares a view on the Gantt module or the Overview timeline, **the URL also contains the zoom level and position on the viewport. **
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ The person who opens the link and adjusts the view settings can see the same taskbars as the person who shared the URL (there can be slight differences because of various screen sizes and resolutions).

The **Share view** feature of the app lets you share selected features by different modules. The overview of the features is presented in the table below:

## Limitations

The URL to the Gantt module of a given box does not change when you apply a JQL search filter.

**Workaround: **

1. Enable the [WBS widget](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/2211941635).
2. Use the **Show on Gantt** link.
3. You are redirected to the Gantt view, where a given issue is highlighted.
