ThoughtSpot on mobile devices
ThoughtSpot mobile provides access to ThoughtSpot from your smart phone, iPad, or another handheld device.
With ThoughtSpot mobile app you can discover insights in seconds, from billions of rows of data, right from the palm of your hand. You can access your ThoughtSpot cluster to search answers and Liveboards. You can also create Liveboards using existing answers and use Liveboard filters.
| Starting in December 2021, ThoughtSpot rebranded pinboards as Liveboards in the Mobile app. In the browser application, ThoughtSpot made this change in release 8.4.0.sw (June 2022). For backward compatibility, we currently support internal processes and external methods that use the older naming convention. |

Sharing with deep linking
Beginning with version 2.0, you can share a link to some objects in ThoughtSpot using instant messaging or email and the recipient can open the link in the mobile app or the web.
