The Share button, explained

Sharing with me is simple and safe: nothing goes out into the world until you say so, and when you do, you get a clean link to send anywhere. Here's exactly how it works.

What it is

The Share button turns one of your private bookmarks into a public one with its own link — and lets you send that link by message, social media, or email. You can share a single bookmark or a whole collection at once.

Why you'll love it

• One tap to publish and get a shareable link.
• Send it anywhere: WhatsApp, Telegram, X, Facebook, LinkedIn, email, or copy it.
• Totally reversible — make it private again whenever you like.

How to use it

1. Open the bookmark you want to share and tap Share.
2. If it's still private, the Share sheet offers to publish it first — that's what creates the link.
3. Copy the link, or pick where to send it.
4. To share a set, publish the bookmarks, add them to a collection, and share the collection link.

Why publish first? A private bookmark has no public address — there's simply no link to hand out. Publishing is the step that creates one. That's why Share offers to publish before it shares.

Good to know

• Sharing (publishing) is free — you just need a signed-in, verified account, because a public link lives in the cloud.
• Changed your mind? Choose Make private — the link stops working immediately and your private copy stays exactly as it was.
