# Sharing flows

> Give teammates the right level of access to a flow: edit, view, or just the data it produces.

Not everyone who touches a flow needs the same access. A teammate might need to edit it, a stakeholder might just need to see it, and someone outside your team might only need the data it produces. Sharing is how each of those stays true at once.

## How it works

Open **Share** from a flow's overflow menu or from the navigation bar inside the flow.

<div className="docs-figure-md">

  </Frame>
</div>

In the **Share flow** window, use **Share with…** to add a teammate and set their permission, then click **Share**. They'll get an email alert and can start working with you.

  </Frame>
</div>

Use the same button anytime to review who has access, change permissions, or remove someone. If a teammate isn't in the dropdown, they're not yet on your Prowork team:

* To add them, click **Invite someone new to your team** at the bottom of the sharing window.
* If they already belong to a different team, email [help@parabola.io](mailto:help@parabola.io).

## Permissions

There are two flow permissions: **Can edit** and **Can view**.

</div>

### Can edit

Editors have full access to the flow. They can:

* Edit step settings, authentication, Parabola Tables, and visualizations
* Share the flow
* Add scheduled runs and triggers
* Delete the flow
* Receive all flow status emails

### Can view

Viewers have read-only access to the flow. They can:

* See the entire flow, including step settings and results, but cannot make any edits
* Create or edit new private views, but cannot edit existing shared views

Viewers cannot share the flow, run it, or delete it. The canvas visibly shows when you're in view-only mode.

### Request edit permissions

A viewer can request edit permissions at any time from the viewer tooltip or the sharing modal. The request goes to editors and/or team admins for approval.

## Sharing with your team

Share a flow with your whole team two ways:

* **By sharing.** Open the **Share flow** window and change your team's permission from *No access* to *Can edit* or *Can view*.
* **By moving.** Move the flow into **Team flows**, which automatically grants your team *Can view*.

## Sharing outside your team

You can't share a flow with someone who isn't on your Prowork team, and public links aren't currently supported. Depending on who you're sharing with:

* **They have their own account.** Copy a snippet: drag a box around the steps (or Shift-click each), then copy with `⌘/Ctrl + C`. The snippet appears as text like `parabola:cb:610af319a9c54054922e8ace3bc67ee7` that they paste into their own canvas with `⌘/Ctrl + V` to auto-populate the steps.
* **They can join your account as a viewer.** Add them as a viewer on the relevant flows. Anything already shared with your whole team becomes visible to them too.
* **Neither.** Export a table or chart to CSV, or share a specific view.

## Transferring flows between accounts

* Deleting a user prompts you to reassign their flows to another owner.
* Duplicate a shared flow to become the owner of the copy.
* To move a flow to an outside account (a client or partner), email [help@parabola.io](mailto:help@parabola.io) and cc the new owner for approval. Include the destination account email, the flow name(s), and whether you want to retain access.
