Frequently Asked Questions

Will making my SharePoint site public affect existing permissions for team members?

Making your SharePoint site public will allow anyone to view the content, but existing permissions for editing and administrative access remain unchanged. Your team members will still have their designated roles and editing capabilities.

Can I revert my SharePoint site back to private after making it public?

Yes, you can easily change your site back to private by following the same steps and selecting 'Private' instead of 'Public' in the Privacy Settings. This will immediately restrict access to only authorized users.

What content becomes visible when I make my SharePoint site public?

When you make your SharePoint site public, all pages, documents, and lists within that site become viewable by anyone with the site URL. However, users without proper permissions still cannot edit, delete, or modify any content.
