In case you are not familiar with how the settings for the overview work, here are the basics:
The overview can have up to 5 tabs. Each tab has a label, which is set independently from the presets that are used by the tab. Each tab in the overview has: i) a preset that controls what's visible in the overview itself when that tab is selected (overview tab preset); ii) a preset that controls what brackets are visible in space when that tab is selected (bracket presets). These presets can be assigned either by right-clicking on the each tab and loading them from the right-click menu, or in drop downs in the Overview Settings window. Each tab preset defines which entity groups are visible as well as what should be filtered out due to its state (such as whether a pilot is criminal, in your fleet, or has high standing). All other settings are global for the overview.
So how does it work to share the overview?
If I want to share my overview, I open my Overview Settings window, and there in the upper right corner is a UI element (easily recognized by the text ‘Share’) which I can drag into chat (or any text input field in the game) to share it with people I'm chatting with.
When I drop this element into chat, my client sends my overview settings to the server, which stores them. Then any time someone clicks the link, the overview settings are fetched from the server and loaded in the client for the player who clicked the link. No one ‘owns’ that overview profile on the server and anyone who has access to that link can load the overview.
If you want to change the text of the link, you can click on the text next to the ‘Share’ element and modify it. Please note that only saved tab presets are included in the shared overview profiles.
After you have created an overview profile link, it works like any other link. It can be dragged to any text input field in the game, such as MotD, corp descriptions, corp bulletins, notepads, bios, etc., so it should be easy to share with the people you play with, as well as keeping a library of your favorite overview profiles.
Loading an overview only means you are loading that overview profile at that time to your client, but after that you are free to make any changes to the overview without affecting the overview profile the link represents.
