Share Link
Generate learner deep links and QR codes for published content.
What This Is For
Share link builds a deep link (and optional QR code) so people can open published content in Learn or on the Academy product page.
It does not bypass access rules for most products, and it is not how you add editors—that is Collaborate (Collaborator Access).
Who This Is For
Authors and administrators who distribute courses, SCORM, meetups, or programs outside the library browse path (email, intranet, print QR).
Before You Start
- Content must be published. Drafts show Publish content to generate a shareable link.
- For an Academy destination, turn on Academy Visibility first—otherwise Skillhabit uses Learn, and Academy may show Turn on Academy for this content to use an Academy link.
Steps
- Open the published content’s configuration page in Create.
- Choose Share link in the toolbar.
- Set Link opens in:
- Learn — opens the content in Learn
- Academy — opens the Academy product page (or anonymous participation entry for Public products when the recipient is not signed in)
- Set Navigation:
- Full — normal Skillhabit menus while using the link
- Lock — stay inside the content with the main menu hidden until they leave (compact header with account controls remains)
- Block — same restricted navigation as Lock at first; full menus return when the content is marked complete
- Copy the Link, or use Download QR code for a PNG.
Access Rules
Share links are deep links, not bypass tokens.
- Most availability types still need Learn visibility (and licenses where configured)—Enrollment and Notifications.
- Exception: Public Academy products allow anonymous access via the Academy / product share URL without Learn visibility.
Result
You have a stable URL or QR that opens the right app surface with the navigation mode you chose.
