# Stop sharing a published Smartsheet link from Confluence

To stop sharing a published Smartsheet link from Confluence, open the **Smartsheet** macro's configuration, find the link under **How this sheet is shared in Smartsheet** and select **Remove link**. Smartsheet turns the publish link off, so it stops working for everyone who had it, inside and outside Confluence. Switch the macro to **Interactive table** if readers still need the data.

---

## Before you start

* You are logged in to Smartsheet in the macro, with permission to change the sheet's publishing. See [Who may change sharing](https://help.gocapable.com/smartsheet/who-may-change-sharing.html).
* Removing a link affects every page and website that uses it, not just this page.

---

## Steps

1. Edit the page and open the Smartsheet macro's configuration.
2. Under **How this sheet is shared in Smartsheet**, find the read-only or edit link.
3. Select **Remove link** next to it.
4. Wait for **Link removed. It stops working for everyone who had it.**
5. Choose **Interactive table** under **How readers see the sheet**, select **Apply**, and publish the page.

## What happens next

The old link shows Smartsheet's own unavailable message wherever it was used. The page now shows the private interactive table instead.

## If it does not work

* **Could not remove the link.**: you may not have permission to change the sheet's sharing. Ask the sheet owner, or remove the link in Smartsheet.
* The sharing panel says to log in: see [this troubleshooting page](https://help.gocapable.com/smartsheet/sharing-panel-says-log-in-to-smartsheet-to-see-or-change-how-this-sheet-is-shared.html).
* A publish link stopped working and you did not remove it: see [Publish link stopped working for people outside this page](https://help.gocapable.com/smartsheet/publish-link-stopped-working-for-people-outside-this-page.html).
