Vault files are private by default. A private file is meant to be accessed only by the owner or by ReadyTools features that have permission to use it.
A public file has a public share link. After a public link is created, anyone with that link can open the public preview page.
- Private means the file stays inside your account access flow.
- Public means Vault creates a shareable URL under
/v/{slug}. - The preview and information modals show whether a file is public or private.
Important
Only make a file public if it is safe for people with the link to view it.
