Once you've built your visual in Discover Lite, you can save it to your own personal content folder, or share it with other Pyramid users. You can also export it to a format of your choice to print it, or share it with others outside of Pyramid.
Once you've saved your visual, you can open it, edit it, save changes, or save a new version of it. Depending on whether or not you share your visual, other users may also be able to open, edit, and export it.
You can also export and print your visual, or create a scheduled subscription.
Save and Share
To save your visual, click Save which is located above the Dimensions panel.
From the Save As dialog, save your visual in one of the content folders:
Folders
The Folders panel contains a Favorites shortcut (yellow arrow) and the folder tree (purple highlight). Navigate through the tree and select the folder that you want to save your item to.
Favorites
Use the Favorites option to access those folders that you have flagged as "Favorites." The Favorites option is not a folder, it is a shortcut that allows you to go to your most commonly used or preferred folders without having to navigate the tree. When you access a Favorite folder in the Save dialog, you are actually saving the file to the location in the tree that you flagged as a favorite.

Folder Tree
You can choose where to save your content to in the folder structure. You are presented with those folders that you have WRITE access to. Once inside the folder tree, you can also access the folder navigation bar (orange arrow above) to more easily move around and add new folders to the tree on the spot (green arrow above).
- My Content: The content in this domain is private. You should save to this folder when you don't want to share your content with others yet. Note that Admins will be able to see this content.
- Workgroup Content: Group content is made READ and WRITE accessible to other users who share your security roles.
- Public Content: Public content is made accessible to all user roles DEPENDING on the role security of the folder or item.

Subscribe
Users can orchestrate the automated delivery of selected Discover reports using Subscriptions which effectively exports or prints the content in a selected document format and distributes it on a scheduled basis.
Configuring a subscription involves choosing an output, defining the schedule, and setting up distribution via the bulletin board or email. This offers a way to share data discoveries on a scheduled basis, ensuring you can keep an eye on changes to your key metrics.
Note: This feature is available with the Enterprise Edition license only.
Note: When subscribing to content and distributing it to other users, the subscription runs as the initiating user. The recipient to whom the subscription is distributed receives the same data as the initiating user. This means the recipient may see unsecured data.
If you want to distribute data dynamically, sending different data from the same report to different users, this is done by configuring dynamic distribution of publications. In this case, the recipient will only see data for which they have permissions.

Open and Edit
There are a few different ways to open saved data discoveries. Once the visual is opened, you can edit as needed, as long as you have the required permissions.
You can open your discoveries from the Content Explorer, the Quick Open menu, the Pyramid home page, and using a direct link. You can also open a visual from a presentation that you are exploring at runtime using Analyze Further.
Once you've edited the visual, you can close it and discard your changes, or click Save (above the canvas) to save your changes.
