## Overview

A launch link is a generic link you can share with your people that takes them straight to their assigned version of a piece of content. It is handy for putting a course behind a button in an email, intranet page or chat message. The link is generic and does not grant access on its own, so it only works for people who have already been assigned the content.

The **Launch Link** window also shows a QR code of the same link, so you can share the content on a poster, a slide or a printed handout as well as in a message.

## How to generate a launch link

1. Open the content item from your **Library**, or find it in **Settings → Library → Manage Private Library**.
2. Click the **Generate Launch Link** (rocket) icon. It is on the right-hand toolbar of the content page, and also in the row actions in **Manage Private Library**.

3. The **Launch Link** window opens with the link on the left and a QR code of that same link on the right.
4. Click **Copy Link** to copy the link to your clipboard, then paste it wherever you need it.
5. To share it somewhere printed instead, click **Copy QR code** to put the image on your clipboard, or **Download PNG** to save it as a file ready for print.

## Things to keep in mind

* The launch link only works for people who have **already been assigned** the content. When someone opens it, it gives them access to their assigned version. It does not assign the content or grant access by itself.
* The link is the same for everyone you share it with; each person is routed to their own assigned version.
* The QR code carries the same link, so the same rule applies. Scanning it does not assign the content to anyone.
* This is different from the **Copy link to this content** action, which copies the web address of the content page itself.

## FAQs

**Will the launch link give anyone access to the content?**
No. It only opens the assigned version for people who have already been assigned the content. Someone who has not been assigned it will not gain access through the link.

**Is the link different for each person?**
No. It is one generic link you can share widely. Each person is taken to their own assigned version when they open it.

**Is the QR code different each time I open the window?**
No. The same link always produces the same code, so a code you printed last month is identical to the one you would generate today.

**What's the difference between the launch link and Copy link to this content?**
The launch link routes an assigned learner to their version of the content. **Copy link to this content** simply copies the address of the content page.

## Who can do this

The **Generate Launch Link** action has no separate role restriction. The icon appears on the content page toolbar and in the **Manage Private Library** row actions for any user who can view the content. In practice this is the Owners, Admins, Managers, Content Managers and Instructors who manage Library content. The QR code is shown to everyone who can open that window, and needs no extra permission of its own.
