Finding and sharing the correct URL of your site's pages is essential. Here's how to do it properly:

Simple URL Sharing (For Navigation Pages)

1. Open your browser's private/incognito mode
2. Navigate to the page you want to share (without logging in)
3. Copy the URL from the address bar
4. Share the URL via social media or email

Full Preview Method (For No-Link Section Pages)

1. Log into your site
2. Navigate to the desired page
3. Click the arrow in the top left for full preview
4. Copy the URL from the address bar
5. Replace built-in domain with custom domain if needed

Example:

• Built-in URL: https://built-in-domain.squarespace.com/blog
• Custom domain URL: https://customdomain.com/blog

Homepage Blog/Portfolio URLs

When blog/portfolio is set as homepage:

• Original blog URL: https://example.squarespace.com/blog/post-title
• Simplified URL: https://example.squarespace.com/post-title

Important URL Sharing Tips:

• Always verify URLs before sharing
• Don't share logged-in URLs (they won't work)
• For index pages, you can share either the index page URL or direct page URL
• For images and files, share the page URL instead of direct file URL

Automatic Social Sharing

You can set up automatic sharing for:

• New collection items
• Blog posts
• Portfolio pieces
• Products

Best Practices:

1. Double-check all URLs before sharing
2. Use private browsing to verify public access
3. Set up a social sharing logo for consistent branding
4. Test links after sharing to ensure they work

Remember to avoid sharing secure editing URLs that include "squarespace.com/config" as these will redirect to the login screen.
