# Copy a link to a Confluence diagram

To copy a link to a Capable diagram in Confluence, open the diagram full screen with **Maximize** (or open it from the Capable Diagrams catalogue), select the share button and choose **Copy URL**. Anyone who can view the diagram can open the link; people without access to its page cannot.

---

## Before you start

* You only need to be able to view the diagram.
* The people you send it to need permission to view the page the diagram is on.

---

## Steps

1. Hover over the diagram on the page and select **Maximize**, or open the diagram from the Capable Diagrams catalogue.
2. Select the share button at the top right.
3. Choose **Copy URL**. It changes to **Copied URL** for a moment.
4. Paste the link wherever you need it.

## What happens next

The link opens the diagram on its own in Capable Diagrams, with its comments and details, rather than scrolling to it on the page.

## If it does not work

* Someone cannot open the link: they do not have permission to view the diagram's page. See [Diagram permissions](https://help.gocapable.com/diagrams/diagram-permissions.html).
* To send a picture rather than a link, export it instead. See [Export a Confluence diagram as PNG or SVG](https://help.gocapable.com/diagrams/export-a-confluence-diagram-as-png-or-svg.html).
