Create public links

Sitecore Content Hub lets you create public links for assets that you can share externally. You can create a public link for a single asset from its details page or links for multiple assets at once using a bulk operation.

Once you create public links, you can use them to layer images and perform image transformations.

To create a public link for a single asset:

1. On the menu bar, click Assets.

2. On the Assets page, find the asset you want and click it.

3. On the asset details page, click More actions and then click Public links .

4. In the Public links dialog box, click + Public link.

5. In the New public link dialog box, enter the following information:

   Field	Description
   Rendition	Rendition of the asset for which you want to create a public link.
   Crop	Don't crop, Crop to center, Crop to a custom focal point, Smart crop, or Manual crop. Selecting Crop to a custom focal point displays a Edit focal point button that lets you set up a focal point that is initially centered.
   Dimensions	Choose the size of the image for this link: Don’t resize: Uses the image’s original dimensions. Custom width and height: Adds Width and Height fields to the dialog box, letting you specify a custom width and height. Preset dimensions. The image aspect ratio is locked, so changing one of these values will automatically change the other.
   URL path	Automatically generated URL path setting for a public link. Clicking Refresh generates a new URL path setting that you can edit manually. You can use the auto-generated path setting or enter one of your own (for example, Figure1-cropped).
   Link expiration	Expiration date for the link. Selecting no value means the public link never expires.

   Note

   Setting a focal point does not affect other public links, custom downloads, or renditions created for the same or any other asset.

6. Click Save.

To create public links for multiple assets:

1. On the menu bar, click Assets.

2. On the Assets page, select the assets you want to create public links for.

3. Click More actions and then click Create Public Links .

4. In the Public links creation dialog box, enter the following information.

   Field	Description
   Expiration	Expiration date for the links. Leave this field blank if you want the public links to never expire.
   Rendition	Rendition of the asset for which you want to create public links.

5. If you need to create another public link, click Add link and enter the necessary information.

6. Click Submit.
