Public Links

Generate public sharing links for files.

Overview

Generate public sharing links for individual files directly from the component, without navigating away from the record.

  1. Click the action menu on a file.
  2. Select Public Link.
  3. The component creates a Salesforce Content Distribution and copies the public URL to your clipboard.
  4. A success toast confirms the link was created.

The generated URL is a standard Salesforce public link — it does not require authentication and can be shared with anyone.

Configuration

Public links can be enabled or disabled per component instance via the Show Public Link property in Lightning App Builder.
