By again clicking on Continue, the system will show you a recap of the selected events that you wish to share via link. At the top and at the bottom of your link you can add a description and some media, and in particular it is possible to use the Artshell Editor to format the text and add media or attachments.
To format the text within the email it is sufficient to select the part you wish to format, and a black “balloon” will appear; from there you can choose among different features:
- Color: the first symbol on the left allows to set a color for the highlighted text. You can choose a color using the window and by navigating through the colors or otherwise by typing the HEX code (#000000, black)

- Link: the sixth and last symbol allow you to add a link to the portion of text highlighted. To add a link it is necessary to type or paste a link in the dedicated field, which will appear by clicking on the icon and then press ENTER on your keyboard. At this point three new symbols will pop up on the left hand side of the link: the first one on the left is to remove the link, the second one to edit it, and the third one allows you to verify it, meaning that a window of your browser will pop up with that link.
Media: it is possible to insert media as pictures, videos or files, attached to your document. You can decide to insert them among the different parts of a text, to the end or at the beginning of the document. To add media within your document you can use the toolbar that appears at the bottom.

The toolbar in the documents is composed of 3 buttons and in particular from left to right:
