The share link encodes these setup answers in the address itself (so you can open it on another device or send it to someone you share the home with); anyone who has the link can read those answers, so leave out anything private. Your workbook (inventory, samples, schedule, budget) is never put in a link; it is exported as a file from the workbook page. Changing setup never erases anything you have typed into the workbook.
