# Public & private access

Every demo has one switch: **Share → Public access**.

| Public access | Who can view |
| --- | --- |
| On | "Anyone with the link can view": public link, embeds and custom links |
| Off (default) | "Only you can view this demo": you and your workspace members, signed in |

Turning it off is instant. The public link, every embed and every [custom link](https://livedemo.ai/docs/share/custom-links/) stop loading for viewers.

## Preview before you publish

Click **Preview** in the editor header. The demo opens in a new tab, exactly as viewers will see it.

## What isn't available

- Password protection
- Link expiry dates
- Limiting which websites can embed a demo (that exists for [AI Demo Agents](https://livedemo.ai/docs/ai-demo-agent/website-widget/#settings) only)

For internal-only demos, keep **Public access** off and share the editor link with your workspace members. See [Team & workspaces](https://livedemo.ai/docs/account/team-and-workspaces/).
