You can opt to "Share now," which will share your album to your News Feed publicly, or you can choose "Share to News Feed," which will give you a prompt to add a caption to the share as well as set the audience privacy. You can also choose to "Send in Messenger," which allows you to share the album with specific people as well as change the caption or add a message. If you want a more specific audience, you can select "Share to a group", "Share to Page," or "Share on a friend's profile."
