Sharing a Watch

You can now share a watch by generating a special "shared watch" link.

When someone adds your "shared watch" link to their changedetection.io installation, all the metadata associated (filters, etc) will be automatically included.

By simply sharing this link, and using it as a new 'watch' other people do not need to configure the URL/filters/triggers/etc, they are added automatically.

A fantastic use-case is for sharing a link with colleagues, friends, people on Reddit and other platforms

Step 1: Generate the 'shared link'

Simply click the blue 'share' icon next to the URL.

Once the page reloads, Use the Copy/Click-to-copy the 'shared link' at the top of the page

Step 2: Spread the link around

Example shared link https://changedetection.io/api/share-url?uuid=c000000-0000-0000-0000-0000000000

Step 3: Your friends/colleagues add the link as a new 'watch' and get all filters/triggers/url/configuration ready to go

All filters are now automatically included - such as CSS filters, text triggers etc.
