====Design
Successful states
Error states
====Acceptance Criteria
1. There should be a CTA to share the link. This should invoke the mobile device's share function.
2. There should be a CTA to copy the link to the story
3. There should be a link in the shared story leading back to wikipedia article
====Test Scenarios
1. After publishing a story, there should be a section that intuitively shows the Wikistory link, with some text to explain this easily.
2. The user should see an indication to copy the link.
3. The user should see an indication to share the link using a mobile's Share function.
4. If a user is on the desktop view, clicking on the link as a reader should open the Wikipage in mobile browser view.
====Open questions
>>Sharing functionality works well when out of Beta; conversations ongoing with Indonesia community.
>>Other considerations to factor as we think about sharing:
a) Legal, Branding and Communications
b) Community feedback: curation and editing burden [office hours topic]
====Tech notes
To share some **text**, or a **file**, or a **URL** on **mobile**, we can use the browser's [[ https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/share | share api ]]. It opens up the native share dialog. It does nothing on desktop.
====Additional notes
1. Journey of the person sharing
2. Journey of the person receiving
- currently shows entire article then the user has to click show the story viewer
- show a preview of the article (lead image + text)
> stories wouldn't be seen (social media preview is influenced by the independent platforms)
