= Scenes and sharing data
:description: This section describes Scenes and how to export data from Explore in the Neo4j Aura console

When you are working with a dataset, sometimes you may need more than one Scene to achieve your objective.
By using the *Scene* button, you can expand the Scene panel from which you can add a new Scene, or rename, duplicate, or delete your existing Scene(s).
The Scene panel is also where you switch between your Scenes, including any Scenes shared with you.
If you have multiple Scenes saved, the search box allows you to filter through them.

The number of available Scenes is determined by the tier of the connected instance.
For Aura Free, you can have *three* Scenes per user, Aura Professional can have *five* Scenes per user, and Aura Business Critical as well as Virtual Dedicated Cloud can have *unlimited* Scenes.

Whenever you make any changes to a Scene, i.e. any changes to filters, the graph, the visualization, or the style, the Scene is automatically saved.
If you switch Scene, the Scene you left is the same when you return to it.

Style settings for a Scene is determined by the Perspective by default.
If you change the styling, the changes only affect the current Scene and any new Scenes you create follow the Perspective styling.

[WARNING]
====
Scenes rely on node and relationship IDs in Neo4j.
Changes to this underlying data can cause data in saved Scenes to appear incorrectly if IDs are reused by the database.

AlexicaWright marked this conversation as resolved.
This also applies when you pause and then restore an instance.

== Sharing options

Explore allows you to share your insights.
When you find an interesting Scene, you have different options to share it, depending on who you want to share it with.
The options are accessed with the *Export* button in the top right corner of your Scene.

=== CSV files

The first option is to extract your results as CSV files.
First you select what data in the Scene to capture.
By default *everything* is selected, but you can refine as you like by enable/disable node labels, relationship types, and/or properties on both nodes and relationships.

When you have done so, you need to decide in what form to export.
You can export *all* the data in your Scene in one single CSV file, `graph-export.csv`, by leaving that box checked.
This file contains *all* the data for every relationship, i.e. start node info, end node info, as well as relationship info.
Additionally, you can add separate CSV files for nodes (`node-export.csv`) and relationships (`relationship-export.csv`), respectively, by leaving those boxes checked as well.

[NOTE]
====
If the Scene only contains nodes and no relationships, both the `graph-export.csv` and `relationship-export.csv` options are disabled.
====

Exporting data in a Scene as CSV files allows you to use your results in other applications.

=== Screenshot

If you want to share your Scene with someone without access to the database, you can take a screenshot to export.
This lets you to share your insights *without allowing outside interaction* with the elements in your Scene.

The screenshot can be saved as either a .png file or .svg file, select the option suitable for your use case.
Regardless of file format, he screenshot is captured and saved to your _Downloads_ folder.

[[perspective-creation]]
= Creation and use

The number of Perspectives you can create (or generate) depends on the tier of the connected database.
For Aura Free instances, only the Default Perspective is available.
Aura Professional instances can have up to five Perspectives per user, and Business Critical and Virtual Dedicated Cloud instances can have unlimited Perspectives.

== Default Perspective

When you connect Explore for the first time to a non-empty database, a Perspective is automatically created for you (see *Generate Perspective* below for details on how this is done.).
This is called *Default Perspective* and it cannot be modified from the UI.
However, if there are changes to the database, Explore updates the Default Perspective accordingly.
If you want to customize the view, you can create a new Perspective.
