Not every release should be public, and not every public release deserves equal billing. Onset gives you three controls.

​
Private releases

A private release is published inside your workspace but hidden from your public page, feeds, and widget. Use it for internal changelogs or for updates that aren’t announced yet. Toggle visibility in the release editor’s settings panel. You can share a release with specific people without making it public. Onset generates a secret link that renders the release for anyone who has it.
1

Open the release

Go to the release in your dashboard.
2

Create a share link

Open the share option and generate a link.
3

Send it

Anyone with the link can view the release. Revoke it at any time to cut off access.
Common uses: previewing an announcement with a customer before launch, or sharing an internal release with a stakeholder who isn’t in your workspace.
A share link is a secret URL, not an authenticated page. Anyone who has the link can open it, so don’t use it for anything you’d need to prove access control over.

​
Pinning

Pin a release to keep it at the top of your public page regardless of date. Good for a major launch, a migration notice, or a status update you want everyone to see first. Unpin it when it stops being the most important thing. A permanently pinned release stops being read.

​
Locking down the whole page

To restrict who can see your page at all, use password protection (Team plan and above) or email whitelisting (Business plan and above).
If you downgrade below the required plan, the page privacy setting switches to private rather than reverting to public. See Billing.
