Share a URL for editing a project component

You can now copy a direct link to a project component for sharing and collaboration in other apps, such as chat and email. From the Options and right-click menus, you can copy a URL to your clipboard that lets recipients open the component directly in the Oxygen editor within Inspire.

Before you begin

  • You can also access this action from the Components browser. Follow the steps in: Share a URL for editing from the Components browser.
  • You cannot access these actions if you use the Select Project Components option to open the Select Project Components screen.

These actions are disabled for the following component types:

  • Binary
  • Workflow
  • SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization System files)

  1. Click Projects_TopMenuOpt Projects.

    You can also click the context menu icon Action_Menu and then select Open or double-click the project.

  3. In the Content pane, click the component's Options menu (or right-click), select Actions, then select Copy edit component URL.
