Visibility and sharing
Profile visibility
The visibility of your profile has several consequences on your ShapeDiver user experience.
Public
If your profile has the public visibility, your profile information is public. Your In this case, your public profile is accessible directly through a public URL that anyone can visit, even without being a registered ShapeDiver user. It lists the information you curated as well as all the public models you include in your portfolio.
You can always check what your profile looks like by following the link "My public profile" in the user menu of the top navigation bar:
With public visibility, anyone can also share their models with you on the ShapeDiver platform.
Organization
If your profile has the organization visibility, the profile information is available to anyone in your organization.
Your models can not be accessed by anyone outside of your organization, even if you have made them public (the only exception is in case your organization allows sharing with users outside of your team).
Only members of your organization can share their models with you.
Private
If you keep your profile private, this information is not accessible by anyone.
No other users on the platform can find you or share models with you.
If you are part of an organization, you administrators can still access your private profile.
Email address
Enable this setting if you would like to show your email address on your profile. If you are part of an organization, this setting might be restricted by your administrators.
Sharing
Enable this setting if you would like to enable sharing your models with other ShapeDiver users. While this setting is enabled, you can share models from the edit page of your account.
When you disable this setting, all existing sharing permissions are temporarily blocked, but they still exist and will be enabled again when you switch the setting back in the future. If you want to permanently delete a sharing permission, you should do it directly in the sharing table of the model.
If you are part of an organization, your administrators might restrict sharing to other members of your organization only.
Link sharing
