**What you are seeing**

A publish link stopped working for people outside this page

---

## Why it happens

Someone pressed "Remove link" in the macro settings. That revokes the link everywhere, not just here.

![Smartsheet's Publish Options panel with Read Only - HTML and Read Only - Full switched off and Edit by Anyone switched on, showing a Get Link link.](https://help.gocapable.com/images/b9c37962-7c1b-4636-a662-9503e754fed7.webp)

Turning on a different publish option switches off the one the embedded link was made from, and the old link stops resolving for everybody.

---

## What to do

Re-publish from the macro settings by choosing the view and pressing Apply. This mints a new link; the old one cannot be restored.

## A few things that catch people out

* "Remove link" is destructive beyond this page: the publish link stops working for everyone who had it, anywhere.
