Here's the simplified and optimized version:

A page's URL lets you share content from your site on social media or via email. Here's how to correctly share URLs from your site:

Finding the Correct URL

When logged in, your site's URL includes secure elements that won't work for sharing. For example:

https://example.squarespace.com/config/pages

will show a login screen to others.

Instead, use these methods to get shareable URLs:

Method 1: Using Incognito Mode

1. Open a private/incognito window in your browser
2. Visit your site without logging in
3. Navigate to the desired page
4. Copy the URL from the address bar

Method 2: Using Full Preview

1. Log into your site
2. Navigate to the desired page
3. Click the arrow in the upper left for full preview
4. Copy the URL from the address bar

Custom Domain Tips

If using a custom domain, update the URL accordingly:

• From:

  https://integrated-domain.squarespace.com/blog

• To:

  https://customdomain.com/blog

Special URL Cases

Blog as Homepage:

• Full URL:

  https://example.squarespace.com/blog/post-title

• Shortened URL:

  https://example.squarespace.com/post-title

Portfolio as Homepage:

• Full URL:

  https://example.squarespace.com/portfolio/secondary-page-title

• Shortened URL:

  https://example.squarespace.com/secondary-page-title

Image and File Sharing

When sharing images or files:

• Share the page URL containing the asset, not the direct file URL
• Direct file URLs (starting with images.squarespace-cdn.com) cannot be modified

Social Media Integration

You can set up automatic sharing for collection items on social networks to save time on manual sharing.

Remember to:

• Review URL slugs before sharing
• Set up a logo for social sharing
• Test links before distributing them
