# Share Link

This article demonstrates how to use the **Share** feature to share pre-selected images outside of Salesforce using a public URL.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:**

The richer [SharinPix Share](https://docs.sharinpix.com/documentation/lightning-web-component/sharinpix-share) feature is recommended, as the Share Link is limited and may no longer be maintained.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
On the SharinPix dashboard's Organization page, there's a configuration that should only be modified as necessary.

**Enable public access to shared images**: Tick the checkbox before using the Share Link feature. This ensures proper image rendering on shared links for external users without Salesforce or SharinPix authentication. It does not apply to the SharinPix Share Lightning Web Component.
