A share invitation is a request to share a workload, custom lens, or review template owned by another AWS account. A workload or lens can be shared with all users in an AWS account, individual users, or both. 
+ If you accept a workload invitation, the workload is added to your **Workloads** and **Dashboard** pages. 
+ If you accept a custom lens invitation, the lens is added to your **Custom lenses** page.
+ If you accept a profile invitation, the profile is added to your **Profiles** page.
+ If you accept a review template invitation, the template is added to your **Review templates** page.

If you reject the invitation, it's removed from the list.

**Note**  
Workloads, custom lenses, profiles, and review templates can only be shared within the same AWS Region.
