Workspace offers three privacy settings for your Client Galleries — Private, Semi-Private and Public.
You can change the privacy status of a specific gallery in its Settings tab, accessible by clicking the gear icon while you have the gallery open on screen.
Note: Client Gallery portals (mentioned below) are web pages where visitors can click through to view one or more of your client galleries. Click here for more about them.
Public
The Public setting is popular particularly with event photographers, who for obvious reasons don't want to restrict access! But used with discretion public galleries are also great for marketing0. social photography like portraits and weddings, as prospective clients will be able to view the work you've done for genuine past clients.
No password is required, so anyone who knows its URL can view a Public gallery. Visitors might click its thumbnail on your Workspace gallery portal page, for example, or a URL shared by email or on social media by you or your client.
Note: Workspace will ask you to confirm that you have your client's permission to display their images publicly without requiring a password.
Private
The Private setting is great for anyone who wants to keep their images completely private. Workspace will generate a password that will always be required to open the gallery, even if you or your client share its URL. On your portal page in Workspace no cover thumbnail will be displayed.
Semi Private
Workspace will generate a password, which will be required to access the gallery via your Client Gallery portal page or social media sites like Facebook, for example.
If you or your client share the gallery's direct URL the password will not be required, meaning that casual visitors, who don't know either the direct link or the password, will be denied access.
The Workspace portal page will display a cover image.
