Share a board without sharing your whole collection

Everything in Beauty Board is private until you decide otherwise. Sharing means creating a view-only link for one board or one list, and whoever opens it sees that view and nothing else. No account needed on their side, no window into the rest of your collection. Here is how that works in practice and what shared views are good for.

Private is the default

This is the rule the whole product is built around. Your products, boards, lists, and routines are visible only to you unless you create a share link. Browsing, saving, arranging, and editing never expose anything. There is no public profile, no follower model, and no moment where saving something makes it visible.

That default matters because a beauty collection is personal. A full record of what you own, what you want, and what you spend is more revealing than a board of pretty pictures. The product treats it that way.

A link is not an account

A share link opens one board or one list in a browser for anyone who has it. The guest does not sign up, does not sign in, and does not see your other boards, your catalogue, or your account. They see the title, the products with photos and details, and nothing else.

What guests cannot do is just as deliberate. They cannot edit, add, delete, or reorder. They cannot see your notes unless those notes are part of what the view shows. They cannot follow the link sideways into anything else you own. View-only means view-only.

The one exception is a shared wishlist or gift list. People with that link can mark a product they will get, so two people do not buy the same gift. You see the product as reserved. You never see who reserved it. They still cannot edit the list or see anything else you have saved.

Guests see that board or list only

Scope is the feature. Sharing your ten-product gift list shows ten products. Your routine, your empties, your half-finished experiments, and the expensive daydreams on your master wishlist all stay invisible. Each board or list gets its own link, so sharing two views means two links, each showing only its own contents.

This is why occasion lists work well as the unit of sharing. A birthday wishlist, a gift list, a routine to show a friend, a holiday packing list: each is a separate view with a separate link. The master catalogue stays yours.

Stop sharing by turning the link off

Sharing ends when you switch the link off. Once off, the link stops opening the view. Anyone with the old link sees nothing. There is no second step and no lingering cache to chase.

Build this into the occasion rhythm. Birthday list shared for two weeks, then off. Gift list for December, then off in January. Routine shared with a friend while she shops, then off. A small habit of switching links off keeps your shared surface exactly as wide as you mean it to be.

What a shared view is for (and not for)

Shared boards and lists suit three jobs well.

Gifting. A short wishlist or gift list for an occasion, with exact shades and sizes, shared with the people buying. The method for writing one is in how to write a beauty wishlist worth sharing, and the buyer's side is in how to buy beauty gifts people actually want.

Showing, not giving. A routine to show a friend who asked what you use, a board to show a sister. They see the products and the order without getting editing rights or seeing anything else.

Planning together. A trip packing list, a shared flat's bathroom restock. Everyone sees the same list, one person still owns it.

What shared views are not for: collaboration with editing, public publishing to strangers, or anything needing passwords and permissions. If you need someone to edit with you, that is a different product. Beauty Board shares views, not workspaces.

Start from the occasion. Make the board or list match it, keep it short, share the link, switch it off when the occasion passes. Private until you say so, and only as wide as you say.
