For share you have to set aspect to be visible.
Edit this file: tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/share-config-custom.xml

You have to edit it like this (if this evaluator exists just add aspect to visible aspects):


<alfresco-config>

 <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocumentLibrary">

  <aspects>
   <visible>
    <aspect name="mm:nc"/>
   </visible>

   <addable>
   </addable>

   <removable>
   </removable>
  </aspects>

  <types>
  </types>

 </config>

…
…
…

</alfresco-config>
