List Your Publication Privately on Issuu
When you upload content to Issuu, you have the option of publishing it as Unlisted. This excludes it from the Issuu.com search engine and community but is accessible only to those with a link. Looking to list an Issuu document privately?
Using the Unlisted publication option is a great way to test how your content looks and works before it goes live. You can always make an Unlisted publication public. However, you can’t revert a public document back to Unlisted.
How to List an Issuu Document Privately
If you want to create a private library of documents only available to members of a group, company, or just for yourself, the Unlisted option is the way to go. Unfortunately, we currently do not offer password protection for unlisted publications at this time.
TIP: While Unlisted publications are accessible only to those with a link, we highly suggest that you do not share this link publicly, as another search engine might discover and index it, effectively making it public.
All paid Issuu accounts, except Optimum, come with a limited number of free Unlisted publications. To find out how many Unlisted publications are included in each plan, please visit our pricing page.
