External Sharing of a custom object - salesforce to salesforce

We cannot seem to get “In the External Sharing related list, click the forward button” the forward button in our custom object to appear.    We are testing this on two developer accounts.  Everything else seems to be activated properly.

 

 

To forward a single record and its related records to a connection:

  1. Select the record's detail page.
  2. In the External Sharing related list, click the forward button. For example, on an opportunity, click Forward this Opportunity.
  3. Select the connection(s) that you want to forward the record to in the Available Connections list.
  4. Click the Add arrow (https://na6.salesforce.com/img/arrow_rt.gif) to move the connection(s) to the Selected Connections list.

Have you published the custom object and has the other DE org subscribed to the object? We don't show the 'Forward' link unless the object in question has been published to and subscribed by at least 1 connection. Additionally, you've got to make sure you're either the owner of the record, manager of owner or you have Modify All Data  (System Admin) access.
 
If you're trying to forward the custom object record using a related list on another record (e.g. Account) in the parent objects' page layout make sure to add 'Sent Connection Name' and 'Received Connection Name' to the related records layout (you can see how by referring to the implementation guide)
