# Share Content

There are two main options when sharing content across collections. You can create a complete copy or create a shortcut that references the original. Creating a complete copy will create copies of all the files related to the asset to the other collection, whereas, creating a shortcut will create  a reference to the original asset in the source collection.

## Create a copy

Allows you to create a complete copy of an asset from the source collection (fromKey) to the destination collection (toKey).
