Tips for Sharing DoViews on Social Media

Using the share links under DoViews on this site

Many people want to share DoViews with colleagues. Most of the DoViews on this site have sharing options under them that let you quickly share them to social media. The links you share when you do that will take the user to a page on this site that shows only the specific DoView. For instance, DoViewPlanning.Org/a036 is the Apple DoView Strategy Diagram.

Putting DoViews up on Google Drive

If you create a DoView and want to share it with people, in addition to emailing the PowerPoint, you can upload it to Google Drive. When you do this, it immediately converts to a Google Slides file. You can then make the link to that file public and allow anyone to view it. You can also create a PDF from your PowerPoint and put that up on Google Drive and share it in the same way. You can also embed Google Slides on a webpage. That is what has been done on pages on this site such at in the case of the Apple DoView Strategy Diagram.

If you want to, you can put the PDF of a DoView up on LinkedIn by uploading it as a document in your post. People can then click through it. However, you cannot share a PDF that people can click through in this way on most other social sites. But if you want to, on some of them, such as Facebook, you can use the PowerPoint version of your DoView to make a video of it and share that. Such a video cycles through the subpages of the DoView, helping people understand that DoView diagrams are interactive drill-down diagrams rather than static ones.
