# Configuring Share Options

Different events, different needs. A corporate gala might want QR codes and email sharing, while a birthday party might just need printing. ALIVE lets you customize which sharing options are available on the share screen.

---

## Available Share Options

* **Print** — Print photos on the spot
* **QR Code** — Guests scan a QR code to access their gallery online
* **SMS** — Send a gallery link via text message
* **Email** — Send a gallery link via email
* **Singles/Networking** — Show a QR code for the Singles or Networking matchmaking feature

You can enable or disable each one independently.

## How to Configure

### Global Defaults (iPad Settings)

1. Go to **Settings** on the iPad
2. Find the **Sharing** section
3. Toggle each option on or off

These become the default for all events.

### Per-Event Overrides (Web Dashboard)

You can also set **different share options for each event** using the web dashboard:

1. Go to the **web dashboard** and open your event
2. Navigate to the **Remote Setup** tab
3. Find the **Sharing** section
4. Toggle individual options on or off for this specific event

Per-event settings override your global defaults — so you can have QR + Print for a corporate event and QR + SMS + Email for a wedding, without changing your global settings.

## How It Affects the Guest Experience

Only the enabled options will appear on the **share screen** after a guest takes their photos. If you disable everything except Print, that's all they'll see.

| Fewer options = faster guest flow. If your client doesn't need SMS or email, turn them off. Guests will spend less time on the share screen and the line moves faster.

|| Make sure the sharing services you enable are properly set up. Check the [SMS Sharing](/en/article/setting-up-sms-sharing-1cmqz3o) and [Email Sharing](/en/article/setting-up-email-sharing-1x3s0ui) articles to learn how to customize your messages before the event.
