          **Before You Start**

          

This article assumes you have created both a Share Tool and Publication already. If you haven't, follow the [Create a Share Tool](/v1/docs/create-a-share-tool) and [Create a Publication](/v1/docs/create-a-publication) instructions.

3. Click *Edit*.
4. Click *Next*.
5. Click *Add Tool* under *Call To Action Settings*.
6. Click *Share*.
7. Select the Share Tool you want to use from the *Share Tool* drop-down menu. If a Share Tool is not showing or the Share Tool you want to use is not showing, you need to [Create a Share Tool](/v1/docs/create-a-share-tool).
8. By default the *Label* field is use the word *Share*. This is what appears in the Publication. You should see the Share button added to your Publication on the left side of your screen. **Note:** This field has a 23 character limit.
