Sharing a database
Copy a link to a canvas database and who can open it when it lives in more than one space.
Every canvas database has a link you can hand to a teammate so they land straight on it.
Copy a share link
Open the … menu at the top-right of the database and pick Copy share link. The link is copied to your clipboard — paste it into a message, a comment, a task, or anywhere else. It opens the database on its default view.
You can also grab the link without opening the database: right-click its tab in the space's tab bar and choose Copy share link.
Who can open the link
A share link is not an invitation. It doesn't add anyone to a space or grant new access — the person you send it to still needs to already have access to the database to open it. If they don't, the link shows a not-found page.
When a database lives in more than one space
A database can be shared into several spaces at once (and into groups or DMs). When that's the case, the link you copy still works for the recipient as long as they're a member of any one of those spaces — it does not have to be the space you copied the link from.
For example, say a database is shared into both #sales and #ops:
- You're in #sales and copy the link there.
- You send it to a teammate who's only in #ops.
- They open the link and land on the database — because they can reach it through #ops, even though you shared the link from #sales.
The link figures out the right space for whoever opens it. If a recipient isn't in any of the spaces the database is shared into, they'll see a not-found page — share the database into a space they belong to first.
