# Enabling session sharing

To share a session, you need to **enable** it first. To do this, [edit the session card](/docs/editing-a-session-card/) in the [my sessions](/docs/my-sessions/) list. You will see a **toggle switch**. Switch this **on**.

Now specify whether this device is for use by the **home user** or by the **clinician**.

If you choose '**clinic**' then Cuespeak configures the session on this device as being the **clinician's copy**. You will need to **send an initial copy** to the **client** before they can begin their therapy session. Sharing this session with your clients WILL NOT send any results as part of session sharing.

If you choose '**home**' then Cuespeak configures the session on this device as being the **home user's** copy. You can start working on your therapy session immediately. You will need to **send your clinician a copy** of your session so that they can review your **progress** and make any **updates** to the session. Sharing this session with your therapist or helper WILL include up to the last three months of results.

## Oops, I did it wrong!

If you’re a **clinician** and you’ve set up session sharing with the **wrong device type** then you’ll probably find that you **can’t see** any of your clients **results** when they send you their session. To fix this, just **disable** session sharing, then **re-enable** it and choose the **correct type of device** when prompted. Now send this updated session back to your client.

## Setting a default email

You can **set the default email address** that you would like this session to be sent to whenever you want to share it. According to the type of device you chose when enabling session sharing you will be prompted for the **patient's** or **clinician's** email address. An email address entered here, in the session card, will **override** any [app-wide defaults you may have set](/docs/app-menu/).

## Sharing enabled

That's it. Your session is now **ready to be shared**. You will now see the session sharing **icon** throughout the app.

This icon will look slightly **different** depending on whether you’re a clinician or home user. **Clinicians** will see a little **satellite receiver dish** within the icon, while **home users** see the **simplified** icon.
