There are many ways to share an app's data. Read on to find which method suits your use case best.
Share with guest users
You have the flexibility to make your app public and share the link with guest users. This is ideal for situations where you want people to view your app without the need for them to edit or interact with the data.

This feature is particularly useful for apps that share public information like event details, reports, or general content.
