## Add the sharing button (_bookmarklet_) to your browser
- Open your Shaarli and `Login`
- Click the `Tools` button in the top bar
- Drag the **`✚Shaare link` button**, and drop it to your browser's bookmarks bar.
_This bookmarklet button is compatible with Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Safari. Under Opera, you can't drag'n drop the button: You have to right-click on it and add a bookmark to your personal toolbar._

## Share links using the _bookmarklet_
- When you are visiting a webpage you would like to share with Shaarli, click the _bookmarklet_ you just added.
- A window opens.
- You can freely edit title, description, tags... to find it later using the text search or tag filtering.
- You will be able to edit this link later using the ![](images/edit_icon.png) edit button.
- You can also check the “Private” box so that the link is saved but only visible to you.
- Click `Save`.**Voilà! Your link is now shared.**
## Troubleshooting: The bookmarklet doesn't work with a few websites (e.g. Github.com)
Websites which enforce Content Security Policy (CSP), such as github.com, disallow usage of bookmarklets. Unfortunatly, there is nothing Shaarli can do about it.
See [#196](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/issues/196).
There is an open bug for both Firefox and Chromium:
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=866522
- https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=233903

Content posted to Shaarli is separated in items called _Shaares_. For each Shaare,
you can customize the following aspects:
* URL to link to
* Title
* Free-text description
* Tags
* Public/private status
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
## Adding new Shaares
While logged in to your Shaarli, you can add new Shaares in several ways:
* [+Shaare button]
* [Bookmarklet]
* [Firefox Share](#firefox-share)
* Third-party [apps and browser addons](Community-\&-Related-software.md#mobile-apps)
### +Shaare button
* While logged in to your Shaarli, click the **`+Shaare`** button located in the toolbar.
* Enter the URL of a link you want to share.
* Click `Add link`
* The `New Shaare` dialog appears, allowing you to fill in the details of your Shaare.
* The Description, Title, and Tags will help you find your Shaare later using tags or full-text search.
* You can also check the “Private” box so that the link is saved but only visible to you (the logged-in user).
* Click `Save`.
<!-- TODO Add screenshot of add/edit link dialog -->
### Bookmarklet
The _Bookmarklet_ \[[1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookmarklet)\] is a special
browser bookmark you can use to add new content to your Shaarli. This bookmarklet is
compatible with Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Safari. To set it up:
* Access the `Tools` page from the button in the toolbar.
* Drag the **`✚Shaare link` button** to your browser's bookmarks bar.
Once this is done, you can shaare any URL you are visiting simply by clicking the
bookmarklet in your browser! The same `New Shaare` dialog as above is displayed.
| Note | Websites which enforce Content Security Policy (CSP), such as github.com, disallow usage of bookmarklets. Unfortunately, there is nothing Shaarli can do about it. \[[1](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/issues/196)]\ \[[2](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=866522)]\ \[[3](https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=233903)]\ |

### Firefox Share
Before using Firefox Share, you must first add Shaarli as a sharing provider:
- Click the `Tools` button in the top bar
- Click the `✚Add to Firefox social` button and accept the activation.
Once this is done, you can share any URL you are visiting by clicking the Firefox
_Share_ button [images/firefoxshare.png](images/firefoxshare.png)
| Note | Firefox Share is no longer available for Firefox 57 and later versions. |

| Note | Your Shaarli instance must be hosted on an HTTPS (SSL/TLS secure connection) enabled server for Firefox Share to work. Firefox Share will not work over plaintext HTTP connections. |

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
## Editing Shaares
Any Shaare can edited by clicking its ![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shaarli/Shaarli/master/images/edit_icon.png) `Edit` button.
Editing a Shaare will not change it's permalink, each permalink always points to the
latest revision of a Shaare.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
## Using shaarli as a blog, notepad, pastebin...
While adding or editing a link, leave the URL field blank to create a text-only
("note") post. This allows you to post any kind of text content, such as blog
articles, private or public notes, snippets... There is no character limit! You can
access your Shaare from its permalink.
