You control who sees your lists. Public lists show on your profile and in list discovery; private lists are yours alone.
Privacy by Account Type#
| List type | Free | PRO |
|---|---|---|
| Wishlist | Private or public (your choice) | Private or public |
| Custom lists | Always public | Private or public |
Upgrade to PRO if you need private custom lists — free accounts can make their wishlist private but custom lists stay public.
Changing Privacy#
Open the list, click Edit, toggle Private on or off, and save. Your wishlist's default is controlled by the Make wishlist public setting in your profile settings — flip it there if you want every future wishlist item to inherit a different default.
Public vs Private#
When a list is public:
- Anyone can view it without an account
- It appears in search and list discovery
- Other users can save it, like it, and comment on it
- It appears on your public profile
When a list is private:
- Only you can see it
- It's excluded from search, discovery, and your public profile
Sharing a Public List#
Copy the URL from your browser — public list URLs follow the pattern versedb.com/list/{username}/{id}/{slug}. Send the link anywhere. If someone says the link doesn't work, check that the list is still set to public.
Comments are the way people give feedback on a list. A list is never star-rated the way an issue is.
