    Chapter-level Privacy Settings<\/h1>\r\n

    The following text is adapted from Control Your Book's Privacy Settings<\/a> in the Pressbooks User Guide<\/em>.<\/p>\r\nWhile global-privacy settings control access to your webbook\u2019s homepage and the general availability of your book itself, OpenPress authors can\u00a0 use chapter-level privacy settings to provide more granular access to individual content within your book. Because global privacy settings take precedence, chapter-level privacy settings will only apply when your the global privacy setting for your book is set to public.\r\n\r\nYou can control the privacy setting for your book\u2019s content from the Organize page or the Status & Visibility widget within the content editing interface\r\n

    Change Chapter Visibility with the Organize Tool<\/h2>\r\nTo modify the chapter-level privacy setting from the\u00a0Organize<\/strong>\u00a0page:\r\n
      \r\n \t
    1. Click\u00a0Organize<\/strong>\u00a0from the left sidebar menu of your book\u2019s dashboard<\/li>\r\n \t
    2. Select or deselect the\u00a0Show in Web<\/strong>\u00a0value for each Chapter or Front\/Back Matter you\u2019d like to adjust (check the box for each chapter that you want to be publicly displayed in your webbook, and uncheck the box for each chapter you\u2019d like to make private)\r\n

      In this example from a globally-public book, Chapter 1 is public (the Show in Web box is checked), while Chapter 2 [under development] is private (the Show in Web option is unchecked)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
      NOTE:<\/strong>\u00a0You can select or deselect all chapters in a given part by clicking the \u201cShow in Web\u201d heading at the top of the column.<\/div>\r\n

      Change Chapter Visibility from Chapter Editor Interface<\/h2>\r\nYou can also modify the \u201cShow in Web\u201d setting using chapter editor interface. This may be more convenient for users who are actively editing a chapter rather than modifying all chapter privacy settings at once. To do so:\r\n
        \r\n \t
      1. Access a chapter of your book in OpenPress<\/li>\r\n \t
      2. Select or deselect the \u2018Show in Web\u2019 option<\/strong>\u00a0in the Status & Visibility widget<\/li>\r\n \t
