Page Privacy & Teamspaces

You decide who sees each SievePage. A page can be public for everyone, private for just you, or a teamspace shared only with people you invite.

Public by default

When you sign up, your main page at sieve.page/yourusername is public. Public pages are visible to anyone and can appear in search results and link previews.

Who can react to your cards

Reactions follow the same access rules as the rest of your page: anyone who can view a page can react to its cards. On a public page that includes signed-out visitors; on a private page it is just you; and on a teamspace it is the members you invited. No one can stack the same reaction to inflate a card, and you only ever see totals, never who reacted. See Page health for how reactions feed your page's community activity.

Making a page private

Private means only you can see it. Anyone else who opens the link gets a short "this page is private" notice instead.

Making a page private is a Pro feature. On a Pro account, the quickest way is the Public / Private badge in the status row at the top of any page: click it and pick Private (lock) or Public (globe). You can also open the Share dialog and set Visibility to Private. Both work on all your Pro pages.

Switch back to Public whenever you're ready. The change takes effect immediately, and the badge updates the moment you toggle it.

What a private page hides

Turning a page private hides everything on it from everyone but you:

  • Cards, columns, and your commission queue
  • Gallery media (images, video, and audio)
  • Any card you shared with a direct link, including one posted on social. The link stops showing your content.
  • Link previews and search listings fall back to a plain placeholder. Nothing leaks.

If you make a page private after sharing it publicly, those older links and previews stop working for visitors right away.

Sharing a page with a group (soon)

Need a page that a whole group can see and edit, not just you? That's a teamspace, and it's private to its members by default. See Teamspaces for how to set one up and invite people.

Free and Pro

  • Free: your one username page at sieve.page/yourusername. It is always public.
  • Pro: multiple pages, private pages (flip any page to private in a tap), and invite-only teamspaces (soon).

See Plans and credits for the full plan comparison.

Where everything lives

  • Page visibility (public or private): on Pro, click the Public / Private badge in the status row to switch it, or use Visibility in the Share dialog.
  • The Public / Private badge: in the status row near the top of your page. It shows the current state and, for you as the owner, doubles as the toggle.
  • Create a page (Public, Private, or Team): the + New page button in the sidebar.
  • Teamspace members: the team's settings.
