<p>By default a <code>public</code> or <code>private</code> share is assigned a <em>share token</em> when you create a share using the <code>zrok share</code> command. The <code>zrok share</code> command is the bridge between your local environment and the users you are sharing with. When you terminate the <code>zrok share</code>, the bridge is eliminated and the <em>share token</em> is deleted. If you run <code>zrok share</code> again, you will be allocated a brand new <em>share token</em>.</p>
<p>You can use a <code>reserved</code> share to persist your <em>share token</em> across multiple runs of the <code>zrok share</code> bridge. When you use a <code>reserved</code> share, the share token will not be deleted between multiple runs of <code>zrok share</code>.</p>
<p>To use a <code>reserved</code> share, you will first run the <code>zrok reserve</code> command to create the reserved share (see <code>zrok reserve --help</code> for details). Once you've created your <code>reserved</code> share, you will use the <code>zrok share reserved</code> command (see <code>--help</code> for details) to run the bridge for the shared resource.</p>
<p>This pattern works for both <code>public</code> and <code>private</code> shares, and for all resource types supported by <code>zrok</code>.</p>
