How to Share a Screener

A screener you keep to yourself is a tool. A screener you share is a conversation. This guide walks through every way to share a screener on ScreenerHub — from a quick link to a friend, to a public profile that builds an audience over time.

If you've already saved a screener (see How to Save a Screener), sharing it takes about ten seconds. The harder questions are what to share, who should see it, and how the people on the other end actually consume it.

TL;DR: Open the screener in your profile, flip the visibility toggle from private to public, and copy the URL. Anyone with the link — account or not — can view the filters, run the screen against live data, and clone it into their own studio. Keep work-in-progress screeners private; share the ones you're confident in.

Who Can See What

ScreenerHub screeners have two visibility states. Pick the one that matches your intent before you copy any link.

Visibility	Who can view it	Who can clone it	Appears on your profile	Indexed by search engines
Private	Only you (when signed in)	Only you	No	No
Public	Anyone with the link, including signed-out visitors	Any signed-in ScreenerHub user	Yes	Yes

Public screeners are read-only for everyone except you. Visitors can adjust filters in their browser to explore the data, but they cannot save changes back to your screener.

Step 1: Open the Screener You Want to Share

Sharing happens from the screener's detail page, not from the Studio.

Go to your profile at /traders/your-username/screeners
Click the screener you want to share
Look for the visibility toggle in the screener header — a small switch showing a lock icon (private) or a globe icon (public)

If the screener is brand new and still being tuned, leave it private. Only share screeners you'd be comfortable defending in a conversation.

Step 2: Flip the Visibility Toggle to Public

Click the globe icon. The toggle updates instantly — no save button, no confirmation dialog. The screener is now publicly accessible at its existing URL.

The URL doesn't change when you toggle visibility. Anyone who had the link while it was private now has access; anyone you send the link to from this point on can see it. If you change your mind, click the lock icon and the URL stops resolving for visitors immediately.

Step 3: Copy and Send the Link

Copy the URL from your browser address bar. It follows this pattern:

https://screenerhub.app/traders/your-username/screeners/your-screener-slug

That's the only link you need. Send it by:

Direct message — Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, email
Social posts — X, LinkedIn, Reddit; the page has Open Graph metadata so it previews with a title and description
Embedded reference — link to it from a blog post, newsletter, or community wiki

There's no expiry, no rate limit on views, and no account requirement for the recipient. They click the link, the screener loads, and the live results render against today's market data.

What the Recipient Sees

When someone opens a shared screener, they get the full read-only view:

The screener name and your description
Every filter and its current value
The current result set, ranked by your default sort
A "Clone to my Studio" button (visible only to signed-in users)
A link back to your profile

They do not see edit controls, saved notes, or anything from your other screeners unless those are also public.

If the recipient clones the screener, they get an editable copy in their own Screener Studio. Their copy is independent — your original stays untouched, and their tweaks don't affect what other viewers see on your version.

When to Make a Screener Public

Default to private. Make a screener public only when at least one of these is true:

You want feedback on the logic from peers or a community
You're teaching a strategy and want a working example readers can run
You're building a public profile of investment ideas over time
You want SEO and discovery through ScreenerHub's public screener listings

A useful test: would you put this screener in a slide deck? If yes, it's ready to share. If you'd want to caveat it heavily, keep it private and iterate.

Sharing Without Going Fully Public

There's currently no per-link private sharing (signed-link, password, or email-restricted access). If you want one specific person to see a screener without exposing it on your profile:

Set the screener to public briefly
Send the link
Once they've cloned or screenshotted it, set it back to private

It's a manual workflow, but it works for one-off shares.

Common Sharing Mistakes

Mistake 1: Sharing a screener that's still being built. If the filters aren't stable, the link you send today won't reflect what you actually meant tomorrow. Lock in the criteria first.

Mistake 2: No description. Recipients see the filters but not the why. A two-sentence description on the screener detail page does more for comprehension than ten more filters.

Mistake 3: Sharing the Studio URL instead of the saved screener URL. The /studio URL encodes a draft in query parameters — useful for ephemeral sharing, but the recipient can't clone it, you can't update it from one place, and it doesn't appear on your profile. Save it first.

Mistake 4: Forgetting to set it back to private. If you used the "public briefly" workaround above, set a calendar reminder. It's easy to forget and leave half-baked screeners discoverable.
