The goal of this issue is to let any Piwik user share the currently viewed Custom Dashboard with a colleague or friend who also has access to this Piwik server.
We can add a new option in the Widgets & Dashboard
selector that will let users get a URL that they can copy paste. When another user clicks on this URL it will load the Piwik and ask user to login if not logged in yet. Once logged in, the user will directly be invited to create a new Custom Dashboard (pre-selected with same widgets and layout as his colleague). The colleague now has access to a copy of your Custom Dashboard!
Isn't this like #5164?
Yes, it's duplicate.
Note: see discussion in https://github.com/piwik/piwik/issues/5164#issuecomment-51156814
Over the last few months, a few more users have requested the ability to Share a dashboard with someone, and keeping the dashboard synchronised with the original dashboard that is being improved.
This would be useful almost always, for example when one Marketing team member creates the Marketing team dashboard, and wants to share it with others. Currently they need to copy it, but as soon as someone makes an improvement they need to share it back with other. It is not synchronised. So the idea is to build this synchronised dashboard by allowing people to share the dashboard with others and keep it synchronised.

Notes
Shouldn't this have higher priority? Seems like a crucial feature somehow.
It's a crucial feature, but there are like hundreds of other crucial features as well that can impact like heaps of users compared to this that rather useful for a lot lot less users
