Projects can be private or public.

## Visibility states

* **Private** (default): only you can access the project.
* **Public**: others can open shared links, and the project can appear on public pages.

You can change visibility in project configuration.

## Share a project

1. Open your project issue or overview page.
2. Click **Share**.
3. Copy link, or share directly by social/email actions.

If the project is private, Paperzilla prompts you to make it public first.

## Share a single paper

From a paper page inside a project, use **Share**.

If needed, make the project public before sharing.

## If someone cannot open your link

Typical cause: project is private and the recipient is not the owner.

Fix:

1. Open project settings.
2. Set visibility to public.
3. Share the link again.

## Remove public access

Set visibility back to private. Existing public access stops after the change.
