# Sharing a report

> Send a research report to someone without a Sterling account, and know what they'll see when they open the link.

## Create a link

1. Open the company's report under its **Research** tab.
2. Select **Share** in the report header.
3. Choose **Copy link** to put the link on your clipboard, or **Share on X** to post it.

**Share** isn't available while you're viewing the initiation. Switch back to **Current Take** to share.

## What the recipient sees

The link opens that one report in a public reading view, with no account needed. The reader gets the report itself, its section list and sources, and the podcast when there is one. The **Financial forecasts** download asks them to sign in first.

Someone who opens the link while signed in with full access goes straight to the report in Sterling instead.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I share the initiation report?

No. **Share** is on the current take only.

### I opened a shared link and landed on the normal research page.

You're signed in with full access, so Sterling took you to the report in the app, where the rest of the company's research is one tab away.
