# 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.&#x20;

### 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 %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.datamidsouth.org/data-midsouth-portal/features/saving-and-sharing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
