## Overview

Copying a link is the quickest way to point someone straight to a specific piece of content in your Library. Instead of asking a colleague to search for a course or resource, you can copy its direct link and share it in a message, email or document — and it opens the item in the right account.

Use it whenever you want to send someone directly to a content item rather than describing where to find it.

## How to copy a link to a content item

1. Go to your **Library** and open the content item you want to share.
2. On the right-hand toolbar of the content page, click the **link** icon. Its tooltip reads **Copy link to this content**.

3. The link is copied to your clipboard and you will see a **Website link copied to clipboard** confirmation. Paste it wherever you want to share it.

> **Note:** The link points to this content item in your current account. Whoever you send it to still needs to be signed in and have permission to view the content — the link does not grant access on its own.

## Things to keep in mind

* The copied link opens the content item in the account you are currently in, so the recipient lands in the right place.
* Sharing a link does not change who can see the content. The recipient still needs their own access to view it; if they do not, they will not be able to open it.
* The link is copied silently to your clipboard — there is no separate window to close.

## FAQs

**Does copying a link give other people access to the content?**
No. The link only points to the content item. The person opening it still needs to be signed in and have permission to view it.

**Where does the link take the recipient?**
Straight to the content item's page in the correct account, so they do not have to search for it.

**Nothing happened when I clicked the link icon — what went wrong?**
The link is copied quietly to your clipboard. Look for the **Website link copied to clipboard** message; if you do not see it, your browser may have blocked clipboard access, so try again.

## Who can do this

Anyone who can view a content item can copy a link to it — **Owners**, **Admins**, **Managers**, **Content Managers**, **People Managers**, **Instructors**, **Employees** and **Restricted** users. Bear in mind that the recipient still needs their own permission to open the content.
