Publishing Content

Please note that your publishing options are defined based on your account type (Education, Marketing & Editorial, or eLearning) and your subscription plan. You can read more about publishing options available to different plans here.

Open a scene you'd like to publish, then click the blue 'Publish' button above it. This will open a new window with 3 different sharing options described below: "Embed media", "Share link", "Publish to social" Please make sure that you've selected either 'Unlisted' or 'Public' visibility setting for the scene. Otherwise, you'll be presented with a blue 'Make public' button.

Embedding content on your site

Embed media provides you with the embed code for the scene. The embed code is perfect for sharing the content on your own website or on a platform like an LMS that allows embeds. Your content will appear seamlessly on your site, fully interactive. Note that website creators and certain blogs (Wix, WordPress, etc.) may limit iframe embed's functionality. Sample embed code, as well as more notes regarding ThingLink embeds, is available in this article.

Sharing the link

Share link provides a shareable link that directs viewers to the page you are currently on. They will not need to sign up or log in in order to see the content if it's visibility setting is 'Public' or 'Unlisted'. You can also check the 'Hide ThingLink interface' box to share the content in full screen mode.

Publishing on social media 

Publish to social allows you to post the shareable link directly to your profiles on a variety of popular social media sites. Please note that these options most likely won't share an interactive image.

Our special Twitter integration allows you to bring interactive content directly into your tweets!
