A shared result is a read-only public page with one person's (or
company's) profile — no login needed to open it, and nothing on it can be
edited or searched from.

## How to share

Open a profile — from Person Search, AI Research or **Saved** — and, once
it has finished loading, click the share icon at the top right of the
profile card (tooltip: **Copy result link**). ListPlus copies a link to
your clipboard that anyone can open without an account. Sharing doesn't
look up anything new and doesn't cost credits; it publishes the data
already loaded in the profile.

## What the other person sees

The shared page shows the same profile card, without the search box or any
of the paid add-on buttons — just the data, plus a small "Found with
ListPlus Contact Search" link at the bottom that leads back to ListPlus's
own Person Search. Apart from a **Search yourself** button that opens
ListPlus, there's nothing they can click, enrich or save.

## How long a link stays open

A shared link works for **seven days after the last time anyone opened
it** — every view resets the seven days, so a link people keep visiting
never goes stale on its own. An unopened link expires after a week. After
that, the page shows "This link has expired" with a button to search for
themselves instead.

## FAQ

### How do I share a search result?

Once the profile has finished loading, click the share icon at the top right of the profile card (tooltip: Copy result link). This copies a link to your clipboard that opens a read-only page — no login needed, no data can be edited or searched from it.

### Who can open a shared result link?

Anyone with the link, even without a ListPlus account. It's a public, read-only page — there's no way to browse to it without the exact link.

### How long does a shared link stay valid?

Seven days after the last time it was opened. Every visit resets the seven days, so a link that keeps getting opened stays valid; one nobody opens again simply expires a week after the last view.

### What happens when a shared link expires?

The page shows "This link has expired" instead of the profile, with a button to run their own search on ListPlus. Share the profile again to create a fresh link.

### Can I share a result from Saved, not just a fresh search?

Yes — open any entry in Saved and, once it has finished loading, click the share icon at the top right of the profile card (tooltip: Copy result link), the same as from a fresh search. It shares whatever data is currently loaded in that profile.

### Does sharing a result cost credits?

No. Creating and opening a shared link is free; it only publishes data your account already loaded, it doesn't look anything up.
