Collection Visibility

Collection visibility is like setting a lock on a room door, determining who can enter and use your collection. Choosing the right visibility settings can protect your content while allowing those who need it to find them.

Visibility Options​

Public Collection​

What is a public collection? A public collection is like placing a book in a library, where everyone can find, view, and use it.

When to use it? Share learning materials with more people, showcase your project results, build a professional image for yourself or your team, and seek community feedback and suggestions.

Features of a public collection: Everyone can search for it, it can be shared via link, it supports likes, comments, and favorites, and it may be recommended to other users.

Notes: Ensure the content is suitable for public sharing, pay attention to protecting personal privacy information, comply with platform usage policies, and respond to user comments promptly.

Private Collection​

What is a private collection? A private collection is like your personal notebook, which only you can see and use.

When to use it? Personal study notes, unfinished projects, content containing sensitive information, or works still under development.

Features of a private collection: Only you can see it, it does not appear in search results, it cannot be shared via link, and you have full control over access rights.
