Who Can See my Data?
Public embeds are available to anyone with the embed url. Embed viewers will be able to input values into any controls you make visible on the workbook.
Access to a public embed will not allow anyone to access additional data in Sigma without a Sigma account for your organization and proper permissions on the workbook.
Export functionality in public embedding is limited to PNG so Excel, CSV, and PDF (including download buttons) are not possible.
Create a Public Embed
To create a public embed, you will need to know how to create an embed URL, and you or someone on your team will need to know how to inject the embed into your non-Sigma application using an iFrame.
The following instructions apply to full workbooks, individual workbook pages, and single element embedding.
- Open the workbook.
-
If the workbook is in Edit mode:
-
Click Publish to publish your changes.
Then click Editing > Go to published version.
or - Click Editing > Go to published version to return to the latest published version.
-
Click Publish to publish your changes.
- Click the caret (▼) button to the right of the workbook title.

Options will include the entire workbook, all individual workbook pages, and all individual data elements. -
A public link and the embed code will automatically be generated.
The embed code is an iframe with its `src` property set to the public link url. - Click Copy to copy the embed code.
- Paste the <iframe> in your external application’s html codebase.
