Private folders/galleries in preview.

b-grinner

I read that private folders and galleries show up in preview. Which I have discovered. So do these private items disappear when it is uploaded to be live?

If so then I find it hard to arrange my site with the private folders/galleries showing.

Any tips?

Thanks and I look forward to your reply.

Private folders show only to you as the signed on user. They will still show after you unveil.

Unfortunately there isn't a way to do that right now. Once you unveil your site you can use two different browsers - one signed in and one not - but that's not available before you unveil.

So defining them as private is sufficient for them to not appear when unveil?

Yes.

From the help page at http://help.smugmug.com/customer/portal/articles/1229910-new-smugmug-what-are-the-gallery-level-privacy-settings-

Private Galleries/Pages/Folders are TOTALLY private. They can ONLY be accessed by the logged in owner of the site. There is not a way to share a Private gallery.
