You can make an article PRIVATE

One powerful feature of our content management system gives you the opportunity to make a published article private.

If you want to publish something personal, which shouldn't be viewed by all visitors you can make your article PRIVATE. The article will show a lock .

If you tick the check box behind the word Private only your friends can view that page. This gives you absolute control over the people you grant access to your private page.

Your friends need to have a membership and ask you to allow them to view the page. Somebody who is not signed in and allowed by you will see the following page:

This is a private page . You must be registered as a friend of the author before you can view it.

You have three choices:

	Sign in as someone who is friends with the author.
	We will ask the author if you are a friend by giving them your name and email address .
	Return to the Publishing Help front page.

Although anyone can create a page on our Publishing Help web site, some people are nervous about losing their privacy. That's understandable, so we allow the option of making each page private.

Private pages can only be viewed by members that you have personally approved as friends.

It's part of our commitment to making our site absolutely safe™ for adults and children alike.
