# Share or unshare a trace publicly

<Warning>
  **Sharing a trace publicly will make it accessible to anyone with the link. Make sure you're not sharing sensitive information.**

  If your self-hosted or hybrid LangSmith deployment is within a VPC, then the public link is accessible only to members authenticated within your VPC. For enhanced security, we recommend configuring your instance with a private URL accessible only to users with access to your network.
</Warning>

To share a trace publicly:

1. Open any trace in LangSmith.
2. Click the **Share** button in the toolbar at the top of the trace view.
3. In the dialog that appears, copy the public link.

Shared traces are accessible to anyone with the link, even without a LangSmith account. They can view the trace but not edit it.

To unshare a trace, use either of the following methods:

1. Open the shared trace, click **Public** in the toolbar at the top of the trace view, then click **Unshare** in the dialog.
2. Go to **Settings** → **Shared URLs** to view all publicly shared traces in your organization. Click **Unshare** next to the trace you want to unshare.
