Open **Projects → [Select project] → Settings → Guest access**. You need permission to edit the project. This page is for internal users. Guest users do not see it.

## Project access

**Allow guest access** is the master switch. When it is off, organization members cannot open the project. You can still prepare documentation visibility before you turn it on.

Internal projects never offer guest access.

## Project documentation visibility

Choose how guests see documentation after they can open the project:

- **Use organization setting** — inherit the organization default. The current inherited value is shown beside this choice.
- **Hidden** — guests see no documentation pages.
- **All pages** — guests see every documentation page.
- **Selected pages** — guests see only pages you mark as visible.

Switching between these modes keeps saved page and folder selections. Returning to **Selected pages** restores them.

This setting filters what organization members can access. It does not grant project access or the permission to manage documentation. Organization members never see page History.

In **Selected pages**, internal documentation managers can:

- turn **Visible to guests** on or off for one page
- **Make all pages visible** or **Make all pages hidden** for a folder

A visible folder never publishes hidden pages inside it. Pages created by internal users start hidden. Pages and folders created by organization members start visible.
