Share photos, links, and more

The Share charm is a quick way to share files and info with people you know and to send info to other apps. It's

available anywhere, so you don't have to stop what you're doing to share things like your latest vacation photos

or an article you're reading. You can share with just a few people at a time, your entire social network, or send info

to another app to refer to later (for example, you can share something with OneNote).

When you come across something you want to share in one of your apps, use the Share charm. Here’s how:

Share a link

1. Browse to a webpage that you want to share.

2. Open the Share charm:

 Swipe in from the right edge of the screen and then tap Share.

–or–

 Press the Share key on Touch Cover or Type Cover.

You'll see a list of the people, apps, and devices you share with most often, plus a list of apps that can

share. For example, to share the link on a social network, tap People, choose Twitter or Facebook, type a

note if you want, and tap or click the Post icon.

 If you want to change what apps are listed in the Share charm, open the Settings charm, tap or click
