    A page is nothing more than an aspx file in a library. It works the same. you also have to go to the active sites tab list and select the site you want to share from and update sharing on that site as well.

There is Sharing setting on the site too.   Find the site n the SharePoint Admin centre and hit the sharing options in the header of the list.

Hi Andrew Hodges ChrisWebbTech 

 

Im pretty new to sharepoint so I'm sorry for these questions. I have tried going into the Sharepoint admin centre then policies - sharing. 

 

 

I have allowed this to anyone but I see this only states it gives access to files and folders rather than a page? 

 

Please help!

      Hi, I'm looking for a solution to this. Need to share a specific .aspx Sharepoint page anonymously.
      Sharepoint Online tenant settings are set as most permissive (Anyone links are allowed), and the same setting (Anyone with the link) is set for the particular site.
      "Anyone" links are still not allowed and is greyed out when trying to share a page (Your org is preventing you from selecting this option).
      Sites collection feature "Limited-access user permission lockdown mode" is NOT ACTIVE.
      The same behavior is visible on modern communication sites or classic sites.

      The same applies to another tenant I have, with the same config. This seems to me more like something MSFT block by design.

      Any ideas, please?

        jnhrv  I think I found solution. I was too in big trouble. None of document and forum helped me. 

        First of all I started in SPO Powershell with 

        Get-SPOTenant

        Then check in results for CoreSharingCapability

         

        Now it is ok. When its diffrent you should use :

        Set-SPOTenant -CoreSharingCapability ExternalUserAndGuestSharing

         

        You could try set anonymous link to any site with this command 

        Set-SPOSite -Identity <pageurl> -SharingCapability ExternalUserAndGuestSharing

         

        Maybe it will help someone 😉

        This is a list that you can’t share anonymously.
