# Save and share a graph

Data Lineage allows you to easily save your graph and share it with other users. You can find multiple ways to save and share by selecting the **Actions** tab in the upper right of the application and selecting a method from the dropdown menu.

Your branch choice is saved with your saved graph. If you load a graph with a different branch configuration than you currently have, you will be asked if you would like to switch branches to the saved branch configuration.

## Share a graph

You can share a graph with other users using the options below:

* **Get quick share link:** Generate a shareable link that provides read-only access to your graph. This option is only available for users belonging to the same Organization. To share a graph across Organizations, ensure the graph is saved in [a shared Project accessible to both Organizations](../../security/cross-organization-collaboration/index.md#create-a-shared-project).
* **Export graph to SVG:** Generate and download a static image of your lineage graph in .svg format.

You can also select **Share** in the upper right of the application to open the sidebar and view **Roles** details. From here, you can turn on link sharing or give a user or group access to your graph.
