# Creating a shared view with the Amazon Quick Sight `createSharedView` API
<a name="embedded-view-sharing-sdk-create"></a>

After you update the Embedding SDK to version 2.8.0 or higher, use the `createSharedView` API to create a new shared view. Record the `sharedViewId` and the `dashboardId` that the operation returns. The example below creates a new shared view.

```
const response = await embeddingFrame.createSharedView();
const sharedViewId = response.message.sharedViewId;
const dashboardId = response.message.dashboardId;
```

`createSharedView` can only be called when a user views a dashboard. For console-specific shared view creation, make sure that users are on the dashboard page before you enable the `createSharedView` action. You can do this with the `PAGE_NAVIGATION` event, shown in the example below.

```
const contentOptions = {
    onMessage: async (messageEvent, metadata) => {
    switch (messageEvent.eventName) {
            case 'CONTENT_LOADED': {
                console.log("Do something when the embedded experience is fully loaded.");
                break;
            }
            case 'ERROR_OCCURRED': {
                console.log("Do something when the embedded experience fails loading.");
                break;
            }
            case 'PAGE_NAVIGATION': {
                setPageType(messageEvent.message.pageType); 
                if (messageEvent.message.pageType === 'DASHBOARD') {
                    setShareEnabled(true);
                    } else {
                    setShareEnabled(false);
                }
                break;
            }
        }
    }
};
```
