Describe the feature you'd like

The problem with using Bookstack as a PWA is that you cannot simply copy the link to the page. On a desktop, it is still possible to get the link via the browser menu, but this actually happens outside the app. However, this is not possible on a smartphone.

My current workaround is to go out of the page and then press and hold the link to the page.

My suggestion:
Add a "Share" button below the export button. Perhaps with several options as with exporting, such as copy link, share in another app.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

You always work completely in the web app and do not have to switch to browser functions. In my humble opinion, sharing pages is also a common use.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

Yes, for desktop clients via the three-point menu> More tools> Use copy link

Alternatively, navigate out of the page and then copy the link from it.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

3 months to 1 year
