How to control content visibility
Not all content should be shared with prospects, and not all content needs to be visible to every team member. Content Camel gives you two visibility controls on every asset: whether it's shareable externally, and whether it appears in the main library.
The two visibility toggles
Shareable Externally
Controls whether the asset can be shared outside your organization via links.
On (default) — The asset can be shared via engagement links, included in sites, and accessed by recipients
Off — The asset is internal-only. Share and link buttons are disabled on the asset card, and no external links can be created
Use this for internal-only content like pricing guidelines, competitive intel, or draft materials that shouldn't reach prospects.
Include in Main Library
Controls whether the asset appears in the main library for all team members. This toggle is admin-only.
On (default) — The asset appears in the library for everyone on the team
Off — The asset is private. Only the uploader and admins can see it. It won't appear in other team members' search results or library views
Use this for work-in-progress content, assets being reviewed before release, or content targeted at a specific team that shouldn't clutter everyone else's library.
Where to set visibility
During upload
When adding new assets, expand the Visibility section in the upload dialog. You'll see both toggles:
Shareable Externally — toggle on or off
Include in Main Library — toggle on or off (admin-only; regular users see a disabled toggle with "Only admins can change library visibility")
Assets uploaded directly into a collection default to private (not in main library). Assets uploaded to the main library default to visible.
On existing assets
Open any asset's Quick View panel or full Detail page and click the Visibility button in the toolbar. A popover appears with both toggles:
Changes save automatically—no submit button needed
A toast confirms the change: "Asset Visibility Updated" or "Asset set to private"
How visibility affects the experience
Scenario | Share buttons | Search results | Library listing |
|---|---|---|---|
Both on (default) | Enabled | Visible to all | Visible to all |
External off, Library on | Disabled | Visible to all | Visible to all |
External on, Library off | Enabled (for owner/admin) | Only owner/admin | Only owner/admin |
Both off | Disabled | Only owner/admin | Only owner/admin |
When "Shareable Externally" is off:
The Copy Link button shows "Internal asset - not shareable"
The Create engagement link button is disabled
The Preview button shows "Asset is Internal. No share preview available"
Best practices
Default to visible — Most content should be shareable and in the library. Only restrict when there's a specific reason
Use "Internal only" for competitive intel — Battlecards, competitive analysis, and internal pricing docs should have external sharing disabled
Use "Private" for staging — Upload content as private while you're tagging and organizing it, then make it visible when it's ready for the team
Communicate visibility changes — If you make previously visible content private, let affected team members know so they understand why it disappeared from their library
