How do I cross link my dataset to a different dataverse with the same files?

We call this making a "link" and as explained here, you'll need click the "Support" link on the installation of Dataverse you're using and ask someone to do it for you: http://guides.dataverse.org/en/4.8/user/dataverse-management.html#linked-dataverses-linked-datasets

The reason you can't do it yourself is that it's currently a superuser-only* feature but there is a GUI for it. We should probably mention it somewhere under the Admin Guide.

What does such linking do? Is there some documentation apart from the section in the user guide Phil refers to?

Best,
Philipp

Linking a dataset allows it to appear in multiple dataverses. I don't think there is any more documentation that has been written but you may be interested in the Linked Dataverses and Linked Datasets design document from from 2015 at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sHuXD7VGI8Gowfvc69Y7xIUoezVUH4J6hHnhW4nXd9k/edit?usp=sharing

I'll give a warning about linking... once linked they cannot be un-linked. At least that's what this issue says to me: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/1364

Yes, that's still true.

If a dataset gets modified on one dataverse, are all linked dataverses automatically modified? Similarly, if a dataset gets deleted on one dataverse, are all linked dataverses automatically modified?

I'm afraid to give a too technical answer so let's just say, yes, if a dataset is modified those changes will be reflected in all the dataverses that link to it. All that's really happening is that a dataset shows up in two or more places. In the code we call each place a subtree because dataverses are organized in a tree. The question is which subtrees a dataset should be displayed in apart from its natural home.

You can't delete a link (as Sherry pointed out elsewhere in this thread). Of the top of my head I'm not sure what happens to the link when you delete a draft dataset. I'd consider the whole feature somewhat experimental under it's no long superuser-only.

I hope this helps,

Phil
