# Saving & sharing

Everything in the Data Midsouth catalog has a stable URL, or a **permanent URL that won't change**.

Translation? You can send a link to someone that will take them directly to any asset page, any filtered catalog view, or any in-app analysis you've built. 

### Sharing a link to an asset

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Copy the URL

The simplest way to share a data asset is to copy the URL from your **browser's address bar** while on the asset page.

Example:

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th valign="top"></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td valign="top">https://www.datamidsouth.org/explore/assets/eviction-court-cases-shelby-county/</td></tr></tbody></table>

<figure><img src="/files/MmjuuXG6vlsb13kUTm2m" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Paste the link

Paste this link in an **email**, a **slide deck**, a **grant narrative**, or a **report**.&#x20;

Anyone who clicks it will land directly on that asset page.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
If you edit a data table by using a filter, you can send a colleague the link and the table will load with your custom filter choices applied.&#x20;
{% endhint %}
