Quick Answer

To share a GoHighLevel snapshot, navigate to Agency View → Account Snapshots → My Snapshots. Select your snapshot, click ⋯ → Share Snapshot, choose your desired link type, and then copy the generated URL. This entire process typically takes about 2-3 minutes.

Key Takeaways

✓Always refresh your snapshot to include the latest changes before sharing any updates.
✓Carefully select the appropriate snapshot link type to control access and reuse permissions.
✓Understand that shared snapshots are clones; updates require generating and distributing a new share link.
✓Utilize the **Assets Protected** toggle to secure valuable content within your snapshots from unauthorized copying.
✓For restricted sharing, ensure you have the correct agency relationship numbers or specific sub-account IDs ready.

Sharing GoHighLevel snapshots allows you to quickly deploy pre-built funnels, automations, and settings across multiple accounts. Follow these steps to generate the correct share link and distribute your snapshot effectively. This ensures consistency and saves significant setup time.

Access Your Snapshots List — Go to Agency View → Account Snapshots → My Snapshots. This page displays a comprehensive list of all snapshots you have created and saved.

Initiate the Sharing Process — Locate the specific snapshot you wish to share. Click the ⋯ (three dots) icon next to its name, then select Share Snapshot from the dropdown menu.

Choose a Snapshot Share Option — A sharing modal will appear, presenting various link types. Select the option that best suits your distribution needs, considering who should access it and how many times.

Select Link Type: Permanent Link — Choose Permanent Link to generate a reusable URL. This link allows recipients to import the snapshot multiple times, making it ideal for internal teams or trusted partners.

Select Link Type: One-Time Link — Opt for One-Time Link to create a URL that can only be used once for import. This ensures controlled, single-use access for external clients or prospects.

Select Link Type: Email Link — Select Email Link to send a single-use import link directly via email. GoHighLevel handles the delivery, providing a straightforward way to share securely.

Select Link Type: Agency-Restricted Link — Pick Agency-Restricted to share with a specific partner agency. You must enter their unique agency relationship number to enable their access.

Select Link Type: Sub-Account Restricted Link — Choose Sub-Account Restricted to limit the snapshot import to a precise destination sub-account. This offers the highest level of control over where your snapshot lands.

Protect Assets (Optional) — Toggle the Assets Protected option to ON if your snapshot contains valuable content you want to safeguard. This prevents recipients from copying or re-sharing protected elements within the snapshot.

Generate the Share Link — Click the Get Link button. GoHighLevel will then generate the shareable URL based on your selected options.

Distribute Your Snapshot Link — Copy the newly generated link. You can now share this URL with the intended recipients, allowing them to import your GoHighLevel snapshot.

✅ Always refresh your snapshot before pushing updates to connected sub-accounts within your agency. After refreshing, you will have the option to choose which specific updates to bring over, ensuring only desired changes are applied.

🔥 Pro Tip

If your goal is to sell this snapshot on the GoHighLevel Marketplace, use the ⋯ → Sell on Marketplace option directly from the Account Snapshots list. This guided flow helps you create a listing and provides the correct Marketplace share link.

Understanding GoHighLevel Snapshot Share Link Types

Choosing the correct snapshot link type is crucial for security, control, and user experience. Each type serves a specific purpose, preventing accidental reuse, limiting exposure, and matching your real-world sharing requirements. Understand the differences to make informed decisions.

Permanent Link Benefits — A Permanent Link generates a reusable URL, allowing multiple imports over time. This is ideal for sharing with your internal team or trusted partners who may need to import the snapshot repeatedly into different sub-accounts.

One-Time Link Use Cases — The One-Time Link creates a URL that becomes invalid after a single successful import. Use this for secure, one-off sharing with external clients or prospects, ensuring the snapshot is only consumed once.

Email Link Convenience — An Email Link is a single-use link sent directly from GoHighLevel to the recipient's email address. It offers a convenient and trackable method for distributing snapshots for a single import.

Agency-Restricted Link Control — This link type restricts access to a specific partner agency. You must input their unique agency relationship number when generating the link, providing granular control over external agency sharing.

Sub-Account Restricted Link Precision — The Sub-Account Restricted Link ensures the snapshot can only be imported into a single, designated sub-account. This is the most precise sharing option, perfect for highly controlled deployments.

⚠️ Remember, sharing a snapshot creates a static copy at that moment. Any subsequent changes you make to your original snapshot will NOT automatically apply to previously shared versions. You must generate a new link for updates.

A common misconception is that shared snapshots automatically update when you make changes to the original. This is not the case. Snapshots are clones at the time of sharing. To distribute updates, you must refresh your snapshot and then generate a new share link.

Make Your Snapshot Updates — Implement all desired changes and new features within the source sub-account that your snapshot is built from. Ensure all elements you want to include in the update are finalized.

Refresh Your Existing Snapshot — Go to Agency View → Account Snapshots → My Snapshots. Find your snapshot, click the ⋯ (three dots) icon, and select Refresh Snapshot. This action saves all your recent changes to the snapshot template.

Generate a New Share Link — Repeat the initial sharing process: click ⋯ → Share Snapshot, choose the appropriate link type (Permanent, One-Time, etc.), and click Get Link. A new, unique URL will be generated.

Distribute the New Share Link — Copy this *newly generated URL* and share it with your recipients. The previous share link for that snapshot version is now invalidated for updates, so ensure everyone receives the latest link.

Push Updates to Agency-Linked Sub-Accounts (Optional) — For sub-accounts directly linked within your own agency, you can push updates. After refreshing the snapshot, select the option to push updates and choose which specific elements (e.g., workflows, funnels) to sync.

✅ When updating and re-sharing snapshots with 'Agency-Restricted' or 'Sub-Account Restricted' links, you must re-enter all existing and any new relationship numbers or sub-account IDs. This ensures continued access for all intended recipients under the new link.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

⚠️ Shared snapshot items are missing or outdated.

You likely did not refresh the snapshot before sharing. Go to Agency View → Account Snapshots → My Snapshots, click ⋯ → Refresh Snapshot, then generate and share a new link.

⚠️ My previously shared snapshot didn't update automatically.

Snapshots are static clones at the time of sharing. Updates do not auto-sync. You must refresh your snapshot, generate a *new* share link, and distribute that new link to recipients.

⚠️ The share link I sent earlier no longer works.

If you generated a new share link for an updated snapshot, the old link is invalidated. Always distribute the latest URL for current versions, as previous links will cease to function.

⚠️ Cannot import an Agency-Restricted snapshot.

Ensure the recipient's exact agency relationship number was correctly entered when the share link was initially generated. Verify the number with the sharing agency to resolve access issues.

⚠️ Content in a shared snapshot was copied or re-shared without permission.

You likely did not enable the Assets Protected toggle when generating the share link. This setting is crucial for preventing unauthorized copying and re-sharing of protected content within your snapshot.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

→Forgetting to refresh the snapshot to include recent changes before sharing updates.
→Expecting shared snapshots to automatically update in recipients' accounts.
→Not choosing the most secure or appropriate link type for the intended recipient and use case.
→Distributing an old share link after generating a new one, leading to recipient confusion or access issues.
→Failing to enable Assets Protected for valuable intellectual property within the snapshot.

Frequently Asked Questions

QAre all snapshot share link types available on every GoHighLevel plan?

Yes, all GoHighLevel plans, including the $97, $297, and $497 tiers, provide access to all snapshot share link types. You do not need a specific plan level to use Permanent, One-Time, Email, Agency-Restricted, or Sub-Account Restricted sharing options. This ensures full flexibility regardless of your subscription.

QIf I update my snapshot, will previously shared versions automatically reflect these changes?

No, updates to your original snapshot will not automatically reflect in previously shared versions. Snapshots act as clones at the moment of sharing. To apply updates, you must first refresh your snapshot, then generate a new share link, and finally distribute that new link to your recipients.

QHow do I update a snapshot for sub-accounts within my own agency?

First, make all desired changes and refresh your snapshot to include them. Then, go to **Agency View → Account Snapshots → My Snapshots**, find your snapshot, and use the option to push updates to linked sub-accounts. You can then select specific elements to apply the updates.

QWhat happens to the old share link if I generate a new one for an updated snapshot?

Generating a new share link for an updated snapshot invalidates the previous one. The old link will no longer work for imports. Always ensure you distribute the most recently generated URL to your recipients for them to access the latest version of your snapshot and avoid access issues.

QWhy did some 'new' items not appear after sharing my snapshot?

This usually happens if you didn't refresh or update the existing snapshot before generating the share link. Snapshots are point-in-time copies. Always refresh your snapshot first to include all the latest changes and then create and share a new link to ensure all 'new' items are included.
