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, like, and — for custom lists — leave reviews
- 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/user/{username}/lists/{list-slug}. Send the link anywhere. If someone says the link doesn't work, check that the list is still set to public.
Tip
Reviews are only available on custom public lists, not wishlists. Keep that in mind if you want community feedback on your picks.
