In which scenarios will the sharing button appear?

1. When the sharing model for the object is private

2. When the sharing model for the object is private or public read only

3. When the sharing model for the object is public read/write

4. It will always appear

The correct answer is: When the sharing model for the object is private or public read only

The sharing button appears in scenarios where the sharing model for the object is set to private or public read-only. When the sharing model is private, only the owner of the record can view or edit it. In such cases, the sharing button allows users to share the record with others, overriding the default sharing settings to grant access to specified users or groups. In a public read-only scenario, all users can view the records, but not edit them. The sharing button appears to allow further designated sharing and collaboration, even under restrictive settings. Under a public read/write sharing model, access is already extended to all users for both viewing and editing. Therefore, the need for manual sharing through a sharing button diminishes because all users can already access the records as per their needs. This is why options that include scenarios where access is more broadly granted, like public read/write, do not support the appearance of the sharing button.
