# Sharing & access

> Five ways to control who can open your page — from fully private to semi-public.

Open the **Share** dialog on any page and pick who can see it under **General
access**. Access is independent of whether the page is published — you can set it
before or after going live.

## The five access modes

<ResponseField name="Only you" type="Private">
  Just you. Nobody else can open the page.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="Anyone with the link" type="Public link">
  Anyone who has the URL can view — no sign-in. The link itself is the key (the URL
  has a hard-to-guess random token), so only share it with people you trust to have
  it. The default when you publish.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="Anyone with the password" type="Password">
  Anyone with the link **and** a password you set. No account needed. Share the
  password separately from the link.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="Specific people" type="Invite by email — no account needed">
  Invite people by email. Each invitee gets an email; they **click to confirm they
  own that address** and the page opens in their browser — **no Shareable account
  required**. Remove someone from the list and their access ends immediately.

  Prefer the old behavior? Toggle **Require Shareable sign-in** to make invitees
  sign in instead.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="Anyone with a verified email" type="Semi-public / email gate">
  The link is freely shareable, but **every viewer must enter and confirm an email**
  before the page opens (the same one-click email confirmation). Great for an
  investor deck people forward around — you still capture who opened it.

  Turn on **Business emails only** to block personal providers (gmail, yahoo, etc.)
  and require a work email. Or set **Only specific domains** (e.g. `acme.com,
      partner.com`) to let in anyone whose verified email is on those domains — perfect
  for sharing with a whole client or partner company without listing every address.
</ResponseField>

<Note>
  "Specific people" and "verified email" both confirm an email with a one-time link
  — no password, no account. Confirm once and that browser can open any page that
  email is allowed on.
</Note>

## Who viewed?

For people- and verified-email pages, the confirmed email is captured, so
[Analytics](/guides/analytics) shows you exactly who opened the page.

## Search-engine indexing

Public (link) pages are **hidden from search engines** by default. Flip
**Search engine indexing** on in the Share dialog if you want the page to be
findable on Google. Private, password, people, and email-gate pages are never
crawlable.

## Going further

Access decides *who* can open the page. A few more controls shape *how* the link
behaves — all optional, all in the same Share dialog:

* **[Link controls](/guides/link-controls)** — add an expiration date, cap the number
  of views, or make a PDF/image view-only (no download).
* **Comments** — toggle **Allow comments** to let viewers leave feedback right on the
  page (anonymous by default, or require a verified email; everyone sees the thread; you
  can hide or delete any comment).
