# Share a Content Area using the HTML Only View

Follow these steps to share a content area via Social Forward in Email Studio using the HTML Only view.

1. Create your email content in the HTML view of Email Studio.
2. Click **Insert** on the menu bar and choose **Social Forward Area**.
3. In the Content Area Properties window that appears, choose the **Allow Content To Be Shared** checkbox and enter the information for the Shared Content Slot, Title, and Description text fields. The Shared Content Slot field contains the ID for the shared content, and you can use whatever name you wish.
4. Choose the CSS file to use in conjunction with the published content. This file applies to the content after it has been published to a social network.
5. Click **OK**. Email Studio adds HTML tags to the content area that you can use to mark your shared content area.
6. Click **Insert** on the menu bar and choose **Social Forward Links**.
7. In the Insert Social Forward window that appears, choose the checkboxes next to the links for the social networks to include in your email content area. You can also choose a checkbox to add all social networks displayed in the window.
8. If the social network requires additional information or parameters, click that network and add the information in the text field directly below the social networks list. For example, you can enter the ShareThis Account ID by choosing the ShareThis entry and adding the ID number in the ShareThis Account ID text field that appears in the window.
9. Click **OK** to insert the social network links you selected.
