Once you've [enabled sharing on your question or dashboard](#enable-sharing-on-your-saved-question-or-dashboard), you can copy and share the public link URL with whomever you please.

5. Set the custom destination to the destination dashboard's public link.
6. Optional: pass a filter value from the primary dashboard to the destination dashboard by adding a query parameter to the end of the destination URL:
