+# Sharing features
+Grafana provides a number of ways to share a dashboard or a specfic panel to other users within your
+organization. It also provides ways to publish interactive snapshots that can be accessed by external partners.
+
+## Share dashboard
+Share a dashboard via the share icon in the top nav. This opens the share dialog where you
+can get a link to the current dashboard with the current selected time range and template variables. If you have
+made changes to the dashboard, make sure those are saved before sending the link.
+
+### Dashboard snapshot
+
+A dashboard snapshot is an instant way to share an interactive dashboard publicly. When created, we <strong>strip sensitive data</strong> like queries
+(metric, template and annotation) and panel links, leaving only the visible metric data and series names embedded into your dashboard. Dashboard
+snapshots can be accessed by anyone who has the link and can reach the URL.

+
+### Publish snapshots
+You can publish snapshots to you local instance or to [snapshot.raintank.io](http://snapshot.raintank.io). The later is a free service
+that is provided by [Raintank](http://raintank.io) that allows you to publish dashboard snapshots to an external grafana instance.
+The same rules still apply, anyone with the link can view it. You can set an expiration time if you want the snapshot to be removed
+after a certain time period.
+
+## Share Panel
+Click a panel title to open the panel menu, then click share in the panel menu to open the Share Panel dialog. Here you
+have access to a link that will take you to exactly this panel with the current time range and selected template variables.
+You also get a link to service side rendered PNG of the panel. Useful if you want to shara image of the panel.
+
+### Embed Panel
+You can embed a panel using an iframe on another web site. This tab will show you the html that you need to use.
+
+Example:
+
+```html
+<iframe src="http://snapshot.raintank.io/dashboard/solo/snapshot/UtvRYDv650fHOV2jV5QlAQhLnNOhB5ZN?panelId=4&fullscreen&from=1427385145990&to=1427388745990" width="650" height="300" frameborder="0"></iframe>
+```
+Below there should be an interactive Grafana graph embedded in an iframe:
