Share assets from the Shares screen Updated January 08, 2026 16:23 One of the foundations of Showpad is the ability to share content with customers and prospects and track how they engage with it via the Share feature. You can share content in different ways, depending on the situation. There's a quick way to share content when the Share screen is already open. This option lets you compose Shares without switching between the Home and the Shares screen. Note: There is a daily limit of 1,000 email recipients. If you reach this limit, your Email Share won't be sent. Learn more.
