Saved views
A link or snapshot can open with a saved view, like your filters, zoom, folded groups and theme.
Normally a link opens with everything shown. A saved view makes it open the way you set it up on your screen instead.
What a view holds #
A view is display settings only. It depends on the tool, and can include:
- filters
- zoom
- folded or collapsed groups
- the tab you're on
- the theme it opens in
A view never changes the work itself. Viewers start from your view, and they can change anything on their own screen. Nothing they do comes back to you.
Save a view with a link #
- Set up the screen the way you want people to see it.
- Open Share / Snapshots.
- Next to the live link, click Use my view.
The link keeps the same address. People get the new view the next time they load it.
To change it later, set up your screen again and click Update to my view. To go back to everything shown, click Clear.
Save a view with a snapshot #
When you take a snapshot, tick With my view. You can also add or replace a view on an existing snapshot from ⋯ at the end of its row (Save my view with it or Update to my view), or remove it with Clear saved view.
A snapshot's view applies when it's opened in the tool and on its link. If the snapshot link has its own saved view, that one wins.
Opens in (theme) #
Each snapshot row has an Opens in setting:
- Viewer's own: the viewer's usual theme.
- Light
- Dark
- Lights out: the darkest theme.
The setting applies to the snapshot and to its link, so both open the same way. It only changes how the page looks while it's open. It never changes the viewer's own theme setting.
