# Sharing
> Choose the sharing options referrers can use, order them, set them per device, and understand which work best.
The **Sharing** node sets which **sharing options** referrers are offered, configured separately for **Desktop** and **Mobile**.
A product referral campaign also has a node called Sharing, but it is a
different thing: the share link injected on your own product pages. See [the
share link](/knowledge-app/referral/campaigns/product-referral/the-share-link).
## Choosing and Ordering Options
The node opens as three columns:
* **The device nav** on the left. Switch between **Desktop** and **Mobile**. Each device carries its own set, so configure both.
* **The preview** in the middle, showing the sharing page as customers see it.
* **The options list** on the right, one row per sharing option.
Switch an option on or off with its toggle, and drag the enabled ones into the order you want customers to see them in.
The preview updates when you save, not as you toggle. Saving keeps the editor
open so you can check the result and carry on.
## The Sharing Options
| Option | What it is, and when it works well |
| ----------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Name share** | The referee redeems by searching the referrer's name, with no link or message needed. Captures offline, in-conversation word of mouth. On average it delivers around 34% of new customers, and up to 77% for some brands. |
| **Native share** | Opens the device's built-in share menu, so referrers can share via any app, including Instagram, with the message captured. Strong on mobile; has added 5-15% to share rate in tests. |
| **Email** | Sends the invitation from the referrer's email client. Direct and traceable. |
| **Direct link** | Copies a unique referral link to paste anywhere. Flexible: the referrer chooses their own channel. |
| **WhatsApp** and **SMS** | Personal, immediate and mobile-first. Mobile only. |
| **Facebook**, **Facebook Messenger**, **Twitter / X** | Reach into a wider social network. |
**Name share** and **Native share** are marked as recommended in the list.
A few options are marked **Legacy** and are no longer offered as new additions: **Referral code**, **Name + code** and **LINE**. An offer that already has one keeps its row so you can switch it off. Referral code and Name + code are mutually exclusive, so switching one on switches the other off.
## How Many You Can Select
The list shows a readout of how many options are selected out of the maximum for that device.
* **Desktop** has five positions in the sharing bar, plus **Direct link**, which renders as a copyable link below the bar rather than taking a position. So a desktop offer showing five options can still add Direct link, for six in total.
* **Mobile** has six positions and no exemption. Every option counts.
At least one option must stay selected.
## Don't Offer Everything
Picking a few high-performing options for your audience usually beats showing every one, which can overwhelm customers and dilute your strongest routes. Performance varies by sector and device, so this is a good thing to A/B test.
Referrals from Name share and similar word-of-mouth routes often aren't visible
in tools like Google Analytics (they show as direct or search traffic). Mention
Me identifies them by matching the customer, so they are still attributed as
referrals.
The Sharing node can be A/B tested, for example reducing the number of options
or adding WhatsApp on mobile. See [set up an A/B
test](/knowledge-app/referral/campaigns/ab-testing/set-up-an-ab-test).
