# Share content privately with a link

> Make an item or collection unlisted so it stays off your portal but anyone you send the link to can open it.

## When to use this

- A recording made for one client, a workshop group or a retreat cohort.
- A bonus you only send to people on your email list.
- Something people outside your membership should be able to reach, without it appearing on your portal.

## How it works

Unlisted content isn't listed on your portal or in member feeds. Anyone with the link can open it, and they don't have to be a subscriber. You can still add a price or a form.

**Step 1: Add the item as standalone**

Go to [Offerings → Content Library](https://portal.bringsoul.life/content-library), open the
Content tab and click Add Content. Upload the file or write an article. (Unlisted isn't offered
for items inside a collection.)

**Step 2: Set Visibility to Unlisted**

Under Visibility, choose Unlisted: *"Only those with the link can access this content"*. Click
Save, then finish the Pricing and Form steps (leave them empty for free access).

**Step 3: Copy the link**

Open the card's ⋯ menu and click Copy Link, or use Copy Link under Quick Actions on the item
page.

**Step 4: Send it**

Paste the link into an email, a message or your session notes.

## Share a whole set

Create a collection and set its Visibility to Unlisted (_"Only those with the link can access"_). Add items inside, then share the collection link with More actions → Share on the collection page.

## Good to know

- Unlisted isn't secret. Anyone who gets the link can open it and pass it on. For content only your members should see, use Private. For one specific person, add a form or price so you know who opened it.
- Unlisted is not a draft. It's live. To hide something completely while you work on it, use Move to Draft. See [Prepare content as a draft](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/offerings/content-library/prepare-content-as-a-draft).
- Whole courses can't be unlisted yet. Unlisted library items are a good alternative.

## What your members see

The person you sent it to opens the link and sees the item page with the player, article or download button. If you added a price or form, they see that first. Unlisted items have a Share button, so they can pass the link on.
