You have complete control over who has access to the work you do in Timetoast.
From publishing work, to fine-grained permissions, this article explains the key privacy and access concepts in Timetoast.
Account-level Privacy
When you create a new project in Timetoast, it is accessible to members of your workspace (account) by default, so working together is effortless.
You can make your project private too; set the 'Editable by' option to 'Just me' when you create your project. You can change this at any time.
Private projects are tagged 'Private' in your dashboard.
Role-based Permissions
If you want, you can give others role-based access to your projects. This lets you work with other Timetoast users, or groups, both in and outside of your account. You can grant roles like admin, editor or viewer, depending on the level of access you want them to have. These permissions can be accessed via the 'Permissions & Access' option on your dashboard. You can grant and revoke permissions at any time.
Public Sharing
You can choose to share your project, or parts of your project, publicly too. This is useful for when the other person may not be logged in to Timetoast, for instance if you want to share work in a group chat, or email a link to someone.
Note that publicly shared resources can be viewed by anyone and may appear in search engine results, such as Google Search.
There are a couple of key differences between regular projects and our legacy Classic timelines.
Regular Projects
In regular Timetoast projects, you can share views. You can generate a publicly accessible link so it can be viewed by someone who isn't logged in to Timetoast.
You can change the 'Public access' setting at any time. Public views are not listed on the main website.
For detailed public sharing steps, see our article on sharing.
Classic timeline projects (legacy)
Classic timelines are no longer being developed, and we no longer offer plans that include access to the Classic editor.
For new timelines, we recommend using the current Timetoast experience.
Classic timelines can be either Draft or Published, a bit like a blog post. If a timeline is draft it is not publicly available. If a timeline is published, it can be viewed by anyone and will be included in the list of timelines on the Timetoast site.
Timelines are tagged 'Draft' or 'Published' on your dashboard, and you can change this status at any time.
