Ottoclip Guide / How-Tos

Choose the right visibility for a content script

Choose whether each content script is private, unlisted, or public.

Steps

  1. Not every piece of content should be visible to everyone. An internal draft, a customer-specific demo, and a public help article each have different audiences — and Ottoclip's visibility setting is how you control who sees what. Screenshot
  2. The group sets the starting visibility. A content script in a published group starts as Public, and one in an unpublished group starts as Unlisted. Screenshot
  3. The visibility drop-down chooses who can see the generated content. Most plans have three options. The Enterprise plan adds a fourth, Internal, which limits viewing to signed-in users in your company. It's the right choice for internal procedures and training. Screenshot
  4. Choose Private when the content is a work-in-progress draft. Only signed-in users in your company can see it, and a shared link won't open it for anyone else. Use it while you're still iterating on a script.
  5. Choose Unlisted when the content is finished but meant for a specific audience, like a demo you're emailing to one prospect or a beta walkthrough for early-access users. Anyone with the link can view it without signing in, but it isn't listed on your hosted contents site.
  6. Choose Public when the content is ready for everyone, like a help article or a feature video. Public needs a paid plan, so free-plan content stays Unlisted. Public content is listed on your hosted site when its group is published, and it gets embed code for your own site. Screenshot
  7. Here's the practical rule. Start a new script as Private while you build it, move it to Unlisted for targeted sharing or review, and make it Public once the content is accurate and ready for everyone.
  8. You can change visibility at any time, for example when a reviewed draft becomes a public help article. Next, watch Content sharing and distribution to see each way to send your content once it's visible. Screenshot
