    Advantage 8: Collaboration capabilities

    Google Data Studio lets you easily share your insights with individuals or groups. You can invite others to view or edit reports or send them links in scheduled emails.

    When you share a Data Studio report, you can choose how much access you want to give to others. For example, you might decide to make it public, so anyone can see it or keep it private, so only certain people can access it.

    Advantage 9: Share and embed

    You can embed a report in almost any web or mobile application that supports the HTML iframe tag. No knowledge of HTML is required; you simply paste the code into your site or app. If you want to make it easier for visitors to access your report, you can add a link to the embedded report within the body of your document.

    Google Ads pre-built templates

    Advantage 10: pre-built templates

    Google Data Studio offers marketers several ways to gain insight into their data. One way to do this is to create a custom report based on a prebuilt reporting template. This allows you to quickly access the most important insights from your data without writing code yourself.

    To ensure you get the best out of Data Studio, we recommend duplicating a template and adding it to your account.
