Core Visibility Settings
You can fine-tune the visibility of items to one of these settings:| Level | Who Can See It |
|---|---|
| Public | Anyone with the direct link can view the content, even if they are not logged into the platform |
| Private | Visibility is restricted only to you or your organization |
| Connections | The content is visible to all of your direct connections |
| Custom | Allows for specific sharing rules, such as sharing with:
|
- Sharing is additive rather than subtractive: For example, if you share a resource with two specific groups and also set it to “Public,” it will be visible in the “My Resources” for those groups and remain accessible via a public link to anyone else
- Inherited Permissions: By default, a file inherits the permissions of its “container” If you upload an image to a post shared with a specific group, members of that group will see that image in their local Files tab
- Retroactive Changes: To change a file’s privacy after it has been shared (e.g., making a previously shared file private), you must go to the Files on your individual profile. This is the central place to modify visibility or delete a file across the platform.
