# Share Trusses and Request Seals or Repairs

Before you begin, analyze the components you want to share, such as a `Common` truss.

## Step 1 - Click `Share`

The `Share` button is in the [Header](/design/getting-started/interface-overview/header.md). It opens the `Create Shared Component Set` tool.

{% hint style="success" %}
Tip

If you've already created a shared set for a project, clicking the `SHARE` button will prompt you to choose an existing component set or create a new one.
{% endhint %}

## Step 2 - Select the components to share and, optionally, `Share Project Snapshot (Hierarchy, Layout)`

Use the dialog to select the components to be shared. Additionally, you can include the project snapshot (hierarchy and layout).

{% hint style="info" %}
Note

A component must be analyzed before it can be shared.
{% endhint %}

## Step 3 - Create the Set with `Create Shared Component Set` and Choose a Sharing Method

Click the `CREATE SHARED COMPONENT SET` button to progress to the next dialog and choose your preferred sharing method.

### Copy Link

Get a link to share and view the component set in Paragon Design.

### Download

Download design drawings with smart links and QR codes.

### Email Link

Send someone a link to view the components and layout.

### Request Seal/Repair

Ask a professional engineer to repair or seal these components.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.paragontruss.com/design/how-to/general/share-trusses-and-request-seals-or-repairs.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
