Privacy and Access overview

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.

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.

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.

You can revoke these permissions at any time.

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.

There are a couple of key differences between Standard (Classic) timelines and Unbound projects, so we'll go over the differences.

In Unbound projects, you share views. You can generate a public link so it can be viewed by someone who isn't logged in to Timetoast. Just change the 'Who can access' setting in the view's share panel to 'Anyone with a link' to share it publicly.

You can change this setting at any time and public Unbound views are not listed on the main website.

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.
