Sharing a User Interface
After you have designed a user interface (e.g., form), you can share it with others promptly. Multiple ways are available to do that:
1. Copying a Shareable Link to the Clipboard
Copying a shareable link to the clipboard allows you to paste and share the link later. This link can be pasted into messages, emails, or other communication channels, allowing recipients to access the shared content directly.
To Copy a Shareable Link to the Clipboard:
On the Lucy app homepage, go to the My Work tab on the left sidebar.
Search and click on the folder you wish to open.
Go to the User Interfaces tab.
Search and select the desired user interface.
Hover over the user interface and click the Edit button that appears. Widget Designer page will be opened.
Click the Share button on the top right.
A shareable link will be displayed in the Link to page box.
Click Copy Link and the link will be copied to your clipboard.
2. Opening the User Interface on a New Page

Hover over the user interface and click the Edit button that appears. Widget Designer page will be opened.
Click the Share button on the top right.
Click Open Page, and the user interface will open on a new page.
3. Adding the User Interface to a Dashboard/Canvas
Users can add user interfaces to their existing dashboards/canvases for future reference. Additionally, this functionality enables users to customise their dashboards according to their preferences and requirements.
