Feature
Access modes
Run the site fully public, or lock it behind a shared password for internal or pre-release docs.
- A single setting switches the whole site between public (open to anyone) and private (password-protected) modes.
- Private mode uses a password check, signed sessions with an expiry, and secure cookies — no visitor account or sign-up flow required.
- Private mode also sends a header telling search-engine crawlers not to index the site, so password-protected docs do not end up in search results.
- Public mode removes that crawler-blocking header and skips the password check entirely, so a public site behaves like an ordinary indexable website.
