By default, Plotbot projects are publicly viewable, and will show up in Project Search. In Project Settings, you can set the participation level of members who join your project, to restrict them to commenting or to encourage them to participate on all aspects of the project.

When signing up for Plotbot, you also receive a free Private Project. Private projects don’t show up in the Project Search, and are viewable only by those you invite to your project. It’s a great way to use Plotbot by yourself, or as a collaborative tool amongst co-writers and friends without letting everyone else see your project.

Setting a Project to Private

To set up a private project, simply check the "Make this a private project" box when you create a new project. To convert an existing project to private, access your Project Settings and check the "Make this a private project" box. All of our beta users have one private project available to them.
