The easiest way to save and share tracks from the URL is by logging in to your Genome Browser account and creating a saved session. Saved sessions are a versatile way to share data that may include native annotations, Custom -Tracks, Track Hubs, and Assembly Hubs.

+Tracks, Track Hubs, and Assembly Hubs. In these examples, text in brackets "<" and ">" +indicate places where the user supplies information. Note that the bracket are not needed for the +URL, not removing the brackets will result in a 'Could not find session' error.You will be able to share Genome Browser sessions with the following link format:
http://genome.ucsc.edu/s/<userName>/<sessionName>
For instructions on creating a saved session, go to the session user guide. If you want to specify track settings in a URL directly, please read the section on setting track visibility via URL for a complete description.
Or if you prefer the older style, which allows you to link to different tools, you may use the following format:

This longer format has the flexibility of replacing "hgTracks" with different tool names to share
