Capturing and sharing a quote

A quote is an extract of your own manuscript, captured for sharing. It can go out through the social queue to a connected account, or through your device’s own share sheet. This page states what accompanies a quote and what deliberately does not.

A quote is an extract from your own manuscript, captured and approved by you. Quotes are shared either through the social queue to a connected account, or through the system share sheet on your device.

What can accompany a quote

Attribution to the book title, a buy link, and an image. Attribution is drawn from the book rather than typed, so it cannot disagree with the book it came from. A buy link cannot be selected until the book actually has one, which prevents a post promising a link that does not exist.

Sharing outside the queue

The system share sheet receives the quote and the book it came from, and deliberately no URL. Nothing about a manuscript in progress is public, and a link to a page that shows a sign-in screen is worse than no link at all. Closing the share sheet without sharing is not treated as a failure.

Publishing to a connected account

Quotes queued for a connected account are covered on the social queue page, including how a credential is stored, what happens when a post fails, and how to end access.
