The Social Media Share component allows users to add a personalised message to a link before sharing a specific page through their preferred social media network. It showcases the most popular ones, while the rest can be found in an overlay, by clicking the "other social networks" button.
This component itself is no longer supported by ECL and the Webtools Social bookmarking and networking widget should be used instead.
Do's
- maintain the same order when using native social media buttons
- follow the branding of the social media guideline
- always display the icon and the name of the social media network
- always place the component at the bottom of the page
Don'ts
- don't display more than 4-6 social media networks, use the "Other social networks" link instead

- when you want to offer your users access to real-time, more frequently updated content that may be pushed to social media
When not to use
