#### What can I share via links?

You can link to either a single piece of content or to a Channel.

#### How do I get a link to share?

Right click on the item you want to share and select “Get Link”.

Afterwards, a message will appear when it has been copied to your clipboard.

Then you can paste the link wherever you choose.

#### Who can I share links with?

Links do not grant access to content or Channels. In order to open a link, you will need AVAIL Desktop version 4.2.1 or later, and already have access to that particular Channel or piece of content.

#### What happens when someone clicks on a link?

If the requirements from the above question are satisfied, AVAIL Desktop will launch and display either the Channel or the piece of content in the [Content View](https://helpcenter.getavail.com/what-is-the-single-content-view?hsLang=en).

#### I opened a link but nothing happened. What’s wrong?

You may not have the correct version installed. Link sharing requires AVAIL Desktop 4.2.1 or greater.

#### I opened a link and AVAIL launched, but I got an error message.

You may not have access to that content or Channel. You will need to be given access to that particular Channel.

#### Do links work in the AVAIL Browser for Revit, Rhino, etc.?

For now, links will only be created in and opened by the AVAIL Desktop application.
