Notebook contents can be shared in three ways:
With Team Members: Access Scopes
Workspace: Sharing with the entire Workspace
: Sharing with the Teamspace
: Directly sharing an individual Notebook
With Stakeholders: :
Converting the Notebook to a Report that can be accessed by Guests, then sharing the URL or embedding it
With Anonymous Users:
Sharing a Public Link to grant access to anyone who knows the link
With Your Application Users: :
Integrating the Notebook into your own application with authentication, allowing you to share with your application users

Choose the appropriate sharing method according to the situation. For example:
Access Scope (Workspace, Teamspace, Shared Notebook):
For collaborative editing.
Report:
For preventing data from being altered.
For improving performance when dealing with large datasets.
For focusing on and sharing only specific pages after performing ad-hoc analysis.
For sharing with external guests who have no editing permissions and no connection roles.
For sharing data analysis results with executives (e.g., CEO) and managers who want only the most important KPIs.
When you want to restrict access to the original sensitive data but want to share aggregated results extensively (e.g., internal HR reports).
For regularly updating important data for all employees.
Note: Even if employees have editing roles for the original Notebook, the list of reports only displays a limited number compared to notebooks, making it easier to filter important ones.
For collaborative parameter changes done separately. Additionally, consider using Notebook versions.
Public Link:
If you want to embed charts in a blog for marketing purposes or share on Twitter, consider using Public Links.
If you want to embed data to be visible only to those with access rights to Notion, consider using Public Links. Additionally, consider using Reports if you want to enforce login.
Signed Embed:
For integrating analytics into your own application or product while maintaining control over authentication.
For embedding dashboards into internal corporate tools and systems.
When building a SaaS product that needs embedded analytics capabilities for your end users.
