=== Configuration Options and Settings ===

When it comes to sharing campaign templates through ActiveCampaign, the following settings and options are significant:

- Ensure that your campaign templates are fully customized and functional before creating a sharing link. This ensures that others will get the complete experience of your brand.
- Use share links as backups for future use, storing them somewhere secure to avoid losing access to your designs.
- Whenever sharing a link, make sure to communicate to the recipient whether any specific settings or customizations need to be updated.

=== Common Use Cases with Examples ===

1. **Sharing Between Team Members**: If you have multiple users in your ActiveCampaign account, you can share templates easily to ensure everyone is on the same page regarding branding and campaign structure.
2. **Collaborating with Clients**: Marketing agencies can create templates for clients and share them directly, making it more manageable for clients to implement campaigns without starting from scratch.
3. **Template Libraries**: By sharing templates with teams or across departments, companies can create a library of effective templates that can be used repeatedly.
