title: Webpack Module Federation Shared Dependencies
body: <p>I have this example from the github repo <a href="https://github.com/module-federation/module-federation-examples/tree/master/dashboard-example" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Dashboard</a>. I cant understand what the shared optoin does exactly. It seems that even if i disable the shared option in the federation plugin the dependencies from each app will still be downloaded.</p>
  <p>This is the network in both apps with the shared option off.</p>
