# Deep linking {#deeplinking}

Deep linking allows users to share links to specific pages, content elements and modules
from within TYPO3's backend.

For example, a user could be writing content for a new page that is about
to be published. Using deep links, they can share a link to the page
they are working on or even share a link to the actual content element that contains
their work and send it to another member of the team for review.

## Sharing links {#deeplinking-sharing}

To share a link, look for the **Share** icon located at the top right hand side of any
page in the backend.

### Linking to backend modules {#deeplinking-sharing-linking-backend-modules}

It is possible to create links to places within backend modules. This example would create a link
to the `Site Configuration` module.

## URLs and deep links {#deeplinking-bestpractices}

When creating links to anything in the backend, it is recommended that the
**Share** button is used to generate the link. Copying the URL from the browser
is not recommended.
