Table of Contents
A share lets you make content available to external users who don’t have a Fotoware Alto user account.
You can create a share in several ways:
- Right-click a content item and select Share.
- Select multiple content items in the content browser and select Share.
- Share an entire collection.
When you create a share, the Create share dialog opens.

You can specify the recipients and subject, add a description and expiration date, and configure options for metadata, language, and available formats.

You can create and send a share without adding any content. This lets you distribute the share in advance and add content later. Content can also be added to the share automatically using business rules.
