Share the workpad on a websiteedit

[beta] This functionality is in beta and is subject to change. The design and code is less mature than official GA features and is being provided as-is with no warranties. Beta features are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features. Canvas allows you to create shareables, which are workpads that you download and securely share on any website. To customize the behavior of the workpad on your website, you can choose to autoplay the pages or hide the workpad toolbar.

  1. Click Share > Share on a website.
  2. Follow the Share on a website instructions.

  3. To customize the workpad behavior to autoplay the pages or hide the toolbar, use the inline parameters.

    To make sure that your data remains secure, the data in the JSON file is not connected to Kibana. Canvas does not display elements that manipulate the data on the workpad.

    Shareable workpads encode the current state of the workpad in a JSON file. When you make changes to the workpad, the changes do not appear in the shareable workpad on your website.

  4. To change the settings, click the settings icon, then choose the settings you want to use.
