Some functionality documented in these help topics is not available unless you are a member of a Qlik Cloud tenant. ## Methods of accessing analytics from a Qlik Anonymous Access subscription If you do not have access to Qlik Cloud, there are two possible ways in which Qlik Anonymous Access content has been shared with you: via an anonymous access link to an application, or as content embedded directly into another web page or application. ### Exploring apps from anonymous access links An application could have been shared with you as a link. When you open this link, you are not required to log in or provide any credentials, and you immediately have access to the analytics content within it. ### Analyzing data from embedded analytics You might be interacting with Qlik analytics content that is embedded directly into an external web page or application. In this case, the analytics could take the form of one or more embedded sheets, or it could consist of individual visualizations. ## User interface The user interface you see depends on whether you are viewing a series of sheets or a single visualization. For example, if you have been given a link to an application, all sections below will be relevant. For analytics that are embedded into external locations, you might notice differences between the sections below and your own options. ### Navigating the application #### Using the navigation bar The navigation bar at the top of the interface lets you switch between different views in the application.
