# Sharing Maps

### Sharing a Link

{% hint style="info" %}
If your MapHubs site is public facing (no login required) then you can simply share the link to the map in the address bar of your browser.
{% endhint %}

On a private MapHubs portal you can create a share link to a map. Anyone with the link will be able to view the interactive map.

Start by going to the map. From the menu choose the share option

{% hint style="danger" %}
Use caution when sharing sensitive data. Sharing a map public exposes all the data in the map including data attributes via map popups etc. to anyone with the link. 
{% endhint %}

### Facebook or Twitter

{% hint style="info" %}
Public sites only, to share from a private site [create a share link](#sharing-a-link)
