Publishing and visibility
Publishing and visibility
Status and Visibility are independent properties. Status is whether the blueprint has ever been published. Visibility is who may read it once it has been.
Status
A new blueprint is a draft: only you and anyone you share it with can see it, whatever its visibility says. Publishing makes the current content the live version. Editing afterwards creates a new draft against that version, so readers keep seeing the last published state until you publish again.
Visibility
| Value | Who can read it | Indexed |
|---|---|---|
| Public | Anyone | Yes |
| Unlisted | Anyone with the link | No |
| Private | You, and anyone it is shared with | No |
An unlisted URL is unguessable, not protected. Anything that would matter if it leaked should be private.
Pre-flight checks
Publishing is blocked until these pass:
- an empty diagram canvas
- a tab with no content
- a missing title
- a rich tab containing only whitespace
Each finding links to the thing to fix.
Ownership and classification
Publish to sets the owner: you, a team, or an organisation, as described in where content lives.
Organisations can apply a classification that constrains what visibility a blueprint is allowed to have. Where a classification is set, you cannot publish above the ceiling it defines.
