You can now enable customers to share application data to an email address. Canvas defaults the recipient email address to the currently logged-in user. However, customers can opt to send the application data to any other email address. The email option is provided along with other export options configured for a widget.

Some benefits of this feature are:

Password protection for the export data files.
Send export data in PDF, RTF, EXCEL, CSV, and JPEG formats. ^##
Send up to 5 MB of application data per file.

^## - Export file formats are dependent on the configured file types for the widget in the end application.
