# Sharing & Publishing

{% hint style="info" %}
Sharing & Publishing is currently in development. This documentation is for feedback purposes.
{% endhint %}

## Overview

ChartSQL Studio allows you to share your charts with the external world. You can share the chart and data that you see in your Studio editor, what we call *Sharing.* You can also publish your SQL scripts to ChartSQL Cloud or a DashSQL Dashboard so that users may execute the script against live data, what we call *Publishing*.

## ChartSQL Cloud Account

Whether you are Sharing or Publishing, collaboration features require a free ChartSQL Cloud Account. Sign up at ChartSQL.com/cloud

## Sharing

Sharing a chart from ChartSQL Studio will upload a copy of the current chart configuration and data to ChartSQL Cloud and create a unique link. You can share that link to others to see the chart. Sharing does not connect to your data sources directly, it merely copies the current script data to the cloud to enable sharing.

## Publishing

Publishing a folder of SQL scripts to ChartSQL Cloud allows more advanced features like script collaboration, ChartSQL Cloud editing, live data refreshes, and dashboard creation.
