Managing Share Links


Share links can be viewed, edited and deleted after they have been created. In order to see the share links that have been generated for an item, bring up the context menu for the item in the Repository and select Share. At present, there is no way to see all the shared links that have been generated by all users and for all images and folders.

If there are any share links associated with an item, a share icon is displayed to the right of its name in the Repository listing. Hovering over the icon shows how many share links are associated with the item.
