The share feature allows you to share a link to a source object thumbnail page by sending a URL link. The link can be accessed by external users, without requiring them to have a ZEN Master account. This feature can be used to share visibility into a source with users that need to view a source, such as live event producers, service customers, external department, 3rd parties, and others. The link is temporary and can be configured to begin and end at specified times. After creating the link, its details will appear in the **Shared** tab of the source.
