Every stack has a privacy setting. You can change it at any time.
The two settings
Private — visible only to you. Use this for research-in-progress, gift lists, wishlists, notes for yourself. A private stack never appears on your profile and isn't findable by anyone else.
Public — visible to anyone with the link. A public stack can be featured on your profile, shared outside Stacklist, and discovered through search.
There is no semi-public middle. If you need to share with a specific person but not the whole web, make it public and send them the link directly — only people you share with will know it exists.
Change a stack's privacy
Open the stack.
Click the three dots in the top-right.
Toggle Privacy to Public or Private.
The change takes effect immediately. Making a previously public stack private will revoke access for anyone who already had the link.
A practical rule
If the stack is genuinely useful to someone other than you, lean public. Public stacks are how Stacklist compounds — they show up on your profile, get indexed, and become part of what you're known for. Private is right for personal lists that have no audience yet.
