Use the **@username** notation to mention (tag) other users. When you mention a user, they receive an email with your comments and a quick link to view them on the Comments tab of the asset management drill-down page. > **READING**: > > :no-title > **Assets Enterprise plans:** > * The **commenting** feature is a premium offering for **Assets Enterprise** plans, and its availability depends on your account setup. If **commenting** is not yet enabled for your account and you'd like to enable it, please contact your Customer Success Manager. > **Assets Free plan:** > * This feature isn’t included in the Media Library available with the **Assets Free** plan, which offers basic management.

The following options are available from the **Share** pull-down button located at the top of the Manage page: * [Public Link](#external_sharing_via_public_links): Share a dedicated link to the asset with stakeholders outside your organization. * **Invite** internal users to collaborate: Share a link to the selected asset's manage page with users who have access. * **Embed**: Get the asset's delivery URL (with or without its version number) and quickly open it in a new tab. This option is often used by developers to render the asset in a website or app. > **NOTE**: > > **Public Link** and **Embed** options for video assets display the video with Video Player settings configured on the asset or with player profiles applied. The **Copy URL** action copies a direct delivery URL without any Video Player customization. For more information, see [Video Player Studio](video_player_studio#sharing_and_embedding). ![Share menu](https://cloudinary-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/q_auto/f_auto/v1746014309/docs/DAM/manage_page_share_menu.png "thumb: w_200,dpr_2, with_code:false, with_url:false, width:200, popup:true") > **READING**: > > :no-title > The **Public Link** and **Invite** features for single-asset sharing aren't included in the Media Library available with the **Assets Free** plan, which offers essential media management capabilities.

This action opens the **Public Link** dialog box: ![Public Link](https://cloudinary-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/f_auto/q_auto/bo_1px_solid_grey/v1698836818/docs/DAM/public_link_dialog.png "thumb: w_300,dpr_2, width:300, with_code:false, with_url:false, popup:true") From the **Public Link** dialog box, you can: * **Copy the public link to your asset:** Click **Copy Link** to quickly copy the link to your asset's dedicated web page and share with your selected audience. * **Control the availability dates:** Set the **Start** and **Expiration** dates. Even after publishing the link, you can change the availability dates at any time. * **Delete the link:** select **Delete link** from the kebab (3-dots) icon to immediately disable the web page. > **NOTES**: > > * Public links for video assets display the video with Video Player settings configured on the asset or with player profiles applied. For more information about configuring player settings, see [Video Player Studio](video_player_studio). > * Depending on the [settings](dam_admin_product_environment_settings) configured for your product environment, you might not be able to share PDF or ZIP files. #### Share multiple assets > **READING**: > > :no-title > The **share multiple assets via public link** feature is currently not at enterprise-grade level and is unavailable for **Assets Enterprise** plans. However, if your Assets plan includes collections, you can share a link to a groups of assets by [sharing a collection](dam_folders_collections_sharing#sharing_collections_externally_via_public_links). To create a public link to a group of assets, select multiple assets and then select the **Share Public Link** option from the share icon in the assets toolbar. ![Share multiple assets](https://cloudinary-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/f_auto/q_auto/v1703430956/docs/DAM/share_multiple_assets.png "thumb: w_200,dpr_2, with_code:false, with_url:false, width:200, popup:true") This action opens the **Share Public Link to Assets** dialog box. Generate the link, copy it, and share it with stakeholders to grant access to a dedicated web page. The dedicated web page (shown below) allows stakeholders to view, search, and download only the selected assets, helping protect other assets in your product environment. > **NOTE**: The link to the dedicated web page expires seven days after creation. Once it's generated, you can't manually modify or delete it. ![Multiple assets dedicated webpage](https://cloudinary-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/f_auto/q_auto/bo_1px_solid_grey/v1703431887/docs/DAM/multiple_assets_webpage.png "thumb: w_700,dpr_2, width:700, with_code:false, with_url:false, popup:true") ## Portals > **READING**: > > :no-title > **Assets Enterprise plans**: > * **Portals** is a premium offering for our **Assets** product.
