> Only admins can create public links and iframes.

Admins can create and share public links (URLs) for questions and dashboards. People can view them as standalone destinations (URLs) or as embedded iframes in another page or app. In both cases, the public item will display static (view-only) results of your question or dashboard, so visitors won't be able to drill down into the underlying data on their own.

To share a document via a public link, admins can click on the **Sharing** button in the top right menu and select **Create a public link**.

Public documents are read-only: viewers cannot edit the content or add comments. For charts embedded in the document, viewers can download the results in CSV, XLSX, or JSON format using the **Download results** option in the chart menu.

## Exporting raw, unformatted question results

To export the raw, unformatted rows, you'll need to append `?format_rows=false` to the URL Metabase generates. For example, if you create a public link for a CSV download, the URL would look like:

When exporting results to an Excel document (.xlsx), Metabase will limit the number of characters per cell to 32,767, which is the [character limit enforced by Excel](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/excel-specifications-and-limit-1672b34d-7043-467e-8e27-269d656771c3). If you have a bonkers number of characters in a single cell, Metabase will truncate the content to fit within that limit.

## Exporting results from document cards

You can download results from charts embedded in [documents](../documents/introduction).

To export results from a chart in a document:

1. Hover over the chart in the document.
2. Click on the three dot menu (**...**).
3. Select **Download results**.
4. Choose your format: .csv, .xlsx, or .json.

You can export results as formatted or unformatted (hold `Option` on Mac or `Alt` on Windows when clicking the format).

If you don't see the **Download results** option, you may not have [permissions to download results](../permissions/data#download-results-permissions).

## Exporting data via a public link

You can create a [public link](../embedding/public-links#public-link-to-export-question-results-in-csv-xlsx-json) that people can use to download data in a specific format, as well as [raw, unformatted question results](../embedding/public-links#exporting-raw-unformatted-question-results).
