Share Buttons on Items
Once you have set up your Share Buttons and Share Profile, you will see the icons on every article where the Share Profile was applied to a channel:
Sharelines on Articles
Security > Authentication Profiles > Add/Edit
Publish > Articles > Add/Edit > Main Body > Shareline
Sharlines work by placing a sentence on an article that will be used as the title when shared to social media.
Additional to Share Buttons and Share Profiles, it is essential to set up an Authentication Profile for each social media platform like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn within the Zone.
Sharelines will only work when there's a Authentication Profile set up for the social media platform where the article is shared to.
