You can share your data in several ways, depending on your delivery preferences and whether you're sharing with other Looker users or with recipients outside your Looker instance.

## Sharing your data

To share data from Looker, you can:

- Create a query and immediately [send the results](https://docs.cloud.google.com/looker/docs/delivering-looks-explores.md.txt) to yourself or other people. You don't need to save the query as a Look or dashboard first.
- [Deliver a Look](https://docs.cloud.google.com/looker/docs/delivering-looks-explores.md.txt) or [deliver a dashboard](https://docs.cloud.google.com/looker/docs/scheduling-and-sending-dashboards.md.txt) immediately or on a recurring schedule in an email or to another destination. For an overview of Looker's content delivery capabilities, see the [Using the Looker Scheduler to deliver content](https://docs.cloud.google.com/looker/docs/scheduling.md.txt) documentation page.
- Grab any one of a [series of URLs](https://docs.cloud.google.com/looker/docs/sharing-urls.md.txt) with which other Looker users can open a query or Look.
- [Download a Look or an Explore](https://docs.cloud.google.com/looker/docs/downloading.md.txt) and then send the downloaded content.
- [Publish a Look with a public URL](https://docs.cloud.google.com/looker/docs/publishing-looks-with-public-urls.md.txt) to an audience that includes people who don't use Looker, by enabling public access and sharing the Look's URL, embedding its visualization or data table into a web page and sharing the webpage's URL, or importing the Look into a Google Sheet or an MS Excel spreadsheet.
- Deliver content to third-party services integrated with Looker using an [action hub server](https://docs.cloud.google.com/looker/docs/action-hub.md.txt).
- [Create an alert](https://docs.cloud.google.com/looker/docs/alerts-overview.md.txt) to receive a notification when the results of a dashboard tile reach or exceed a specified threshold.
