In various embodiments, a computer-implemented method comprises receiving an artifact manifest representing at least a portion of a shared session between a first application and at least a second application, where the artifact manifest identifies a set of data visualization artifacts that are generated by the first application, transmitting the artifact manifest to the second application, receiving, from the second application accessing the shared session, a modification to a first data visualization artifact in the set of data visualization artifacts, and causing, based on the modification, the first data visualization artifact to be updated by the first application.
