# Share Datasets

> Enable seamless collaboration by securely sharing datasets with internal teammates or external partners.

<Card title="How This Helps" icon="users">
  Dataset sharing makes it easy to collaborate across roles and organizations. It provides a secure way to grant access to curated image and video datasets without manual handoffs or duplication.
</Card>

You can share any private dataset with individual collaborators or entire teams. This allows others to view, curate, review, or manage data—depending on the permissions you assign.

  <Step title="Go to Dataset Inventory">

<Steps>
  <Step title="Check Email">
    The user receives an email invite with a link to access the dataset.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click 'Accept Invite'">
    Clicking the link will open the dataset (after login or sign-up, if required).
  </Step>

## Manage Sharing Access

You can manage dataset access after sharing:

* **View who has access**: Open **Sharing Settings** to see current members or teams.
* **Revoke access**: Remove any user or team to revoke access instantly.
* **Extend an invite**: Invites expire after **72 hours**. You can extend them for another 72 hours via the **Sharing panel**.

<Tip>
  Sharing is flexible—grant access to internal teams or trusted external partners. Just ensure everyone is registered and signed in before accessing the dataset.
