Beyond My Time

Keeping a memory for the people on the page only

A memory can be restricted to the page's members, never promoted beyond the page. The author or a manager sets it.

Some memories belong to the people who were there — the hospital weeks, a family quarrel made up — and not to everyone who has the page's address. Each memory has one switch: Only the people on this page.

  • The author can set it on their own memory; a manager can set it on any.
  • It only ever restricts. A memory can't be made more public than the page it's on — the page is the thing you publish.
  • It appears only once Anyone with the link can read it is on (or the page is public); before that, everyone who can see the page is already on it.

A restricted memory can't be shared by link, and it stays out of the exported book for anyone who isn't a member.

Your own contributions, everywhere

Separately, every contributor has a switch of their own under You on this page (the person icon in the row under the photo): Keep my contributions for people on the page. It hides everything you've added — memories, notes, photos, your name — from visitors, and only you can change it. See Your contributions when a page opens up.
