# Share Links

A link anyone can open, for as long as you say.

A share link lets anyone view your Certs in their web browser, no CertLocker account needed. It's perfect for a hiring manager, an instructor, or a licensing office. Because the link always shows your Cert as it is right now, a renewed Cert shows up through the same link.

## Link One Cert

When looking at your Locker, **Tap a Cert** to open it, tap the **Share Icon** in the top right corner, then tap **Manage shareable links**. The **Shareable links** sheet lists your **Live shares** for this Cert.

## Link Your Whole Locker

To share everything at once, tap **More** in the navigation bar, then **Locker share links** (or tap **Share whole locker…** on the Share certs sheet in My Certs). A whole-locker link includes every Cert in your Locker that isn't marked private, now and in the future.

## Create a New Link

Tap **Create new share link**. Before you create it, decide whether the person can download your documents (tap **Download: On** to switch it off), and when the link should stop working (tap the date beside **Expires:**, or leave it set to **Never**). For a whole-locker link, leave **Private: Off** unless you want the link to include your private Certs too. Then tap **Create link**.

CertLocker copies your new link to your clipboard and confirms **Link created and copied to clipboard**. Paste it into an email, a text, or an application form. On a phone, you can also tap **Share link** to send it straight from your device.

## Copy or Revoke a Link

Your links stay listed under **Live shares**, where you can tap **Copy link** any time. When someone no longer needs access, tap **Revoke link**, then confirm on **Revoke this share link?** by tapping **Revoke link**. Revoked and expired links move to **Revoked / expired**.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**A revoked link can't be turned back on**, so create a new one if you need it again. Revoking stops future views, but it can't take back a document someone already downloaded.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.firecal.app/sharing-certs/share-links.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
