Share and Engage buttons default to display on Link posts using Post CTAs. Post CTAs (Call to Actions) are network-specific Share and Engage CTA buttons on internal posts and the Public Posts Page. The Share button is the same for all social networks but the Engage button is styled in relation to the network from which a post is shared.

It is important to know Post CTA share buttons can be toggled on or off during the composition process for Link posts, regardless of the default setting for Post CTAs.

Post CTAs considerations

Here are some questions to ask if you're wondering if a network’s post should default to be shareable or engageable.

  • Do I want users to share this content to their own profiles and effectively splinter the network effect amongst their own connections?
  • Do I want to drive our user-base to congregate and drive viral behavior around a single social post?

Our standard recommendation for most network posts is to drive users to Engage with the post.

If you want to review or change your social networks' default Share and Engage buttons, you’ll want to access your Post CTAs settings.

  • Go to Admin > Settings > Sharing.
