Sharing is controlled from the **Sharing** tab of collection settings (see [Collection settings](/content/docs/collection-settings/index.html) for the full tab tour).

The Sharing tab — visibility, a custom slug, and featuring.

## Visibility levels

- **Private** — only members of the owning workspace can open it. Access follows workspace roles (see [Workspaces](/content/docs/workspaces/index.html)).
- **Unlisted** — anyone with the link can open it, but it doesn’t appear in the public browse gallery or search.
- **Public** — listed in the public **Browse** gallery, discoverable by search and tag, and openable by anyone.

Changing visibility takes effect immediately. Making a collection public exposes its images and metadata to the world — review the data first.

## Custom share URL

Set a **slug** to get a readable URL (for example `/collections/my-collection-name`) instead of the random collection ID. Slugs are easier to share in talks, papers, and links. The original ID URL keeps working.

## Featuring

Curators can **feature** a public collection so it surfaces prominently on the public home page and at the top of Browse. Featuring uses a rank you set on the Sharing tab; unfeature by clearing it.

## The Browse gallery

Public collections appear at **/browse**, where visitors can:

- Switch between a tile grid and a list.
- Sort by featured, most recent, or most popular.
- Filter by tag and search by name/description.

Click through to a collection’s public detail page, then into the viewer.

## Attribution and licence

Viewers of a public collection see an **attribution bar** with the source name, link, licence, and any required statement. Set these on the **General** tab (see [Collection settings](/content/docs/collection-settings/index.html)). For catalogue-sourced collections (the Met, IIIF, etc.) attribution is populated from the source on import.

## View count

For public collections, the Sharing tab shows a **page-view count** so owners can gauge reach.
