I can't turn on "sharing with external link" with my confluence document

Question

I want to share a confluence document with a link. So anyone with a link could see it. Just like google docs. I have a "share with link" option, but the link requires sign in.

I have found an article to enable "sharing with public link" but could not find this option in settings.

I'm on free plan.

Hi @Nikita Akulich and welcome to the community,

The public link feature has been disabled for the moment. Read more here https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-articles/New-page-sharing-experience-in-Confluence-Cloud-paused-until/ba-p/1847361

Hello @Nikita Akulich

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

If your Confluence site does not allow Anonymous access (which would make it accessible to everybody on the Internet) then any user who receive that link will need to have a login for your Confluence site to see the content.

If your reference to "share with public link" was about this:

https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/share-content-externally-with-public-links/

...then notice at the top of that document there is an announcement that roll out of the functionality has been temporarily halted. The option may not have been made available for your instance.

Hi @Nikita Akulich

So you are not logged in?

Normally, you can share every page with the share button:

But be aware, the page can only be viewed by public people, when the space permission is for anonymus.
