# Sharing a report

Any verified research report can be shared with someone who has no Sterling account.

## Creating a link

Open the report under **Research** and select **Share**. Sterling creates a short link and offers **Copy link** and **Share on X**.

## What the recipient sees

The link opens a reader for that one report: the company header, the outline, the read-time control, the sources, and the narration player. The other research tabs are shown but locked, with a note that they require Sterling access, and there are no controls to step to other reports or to share onward.

Downloading the Excel forecast from a shared page requires signing in with an active trial or plan. A recipient who already has full access is taken into the app instead of the reader.

Only verified reports can be shared. Links stay valid as long as the report is published.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sterlinglabs.co/research/sharing-reports.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
