Understand private drafts and public websites
Know what remains unlisted, what access a preview link grants, when approved media has public URLs, and when the customer website goes live.
Onboarding answers, generated versions, and saved edits are not listed as a public website. Private previews use time-limited access links, while approved photographs may use directly fetchable public asset URLs. Publishing creates or updates the separate customer-facing site; it does not expose Studio, account settings, prompts, or version history.
How to use this
- 1Use the private preview to review every version, and share its unexpired access link only with people you trust.
- 2Share customer-facing information only after confirming it.
- 3Choose Publish deliberately when the reviewed version should become public.
- 4Use My Sites to manage or take the public website offline.
Keep in mind
- Saving and publishing are separate actions.
- Treat any public URL as customer-visible even when it is not linked from social profiles yet.
