Authory gives you flexible sharing options for:
Your entire portfolio
Individual collections
Single work samples
Whether you want to go fully public, stay private, or share something with a password or secret link, here’s how it works.
Sharing Your Portfolio
Step 1: Open Your Portfolio Settings
Go to your Portfolio Editor
Once your portfolio editor loads, click the Share button (top right)
Portfolio Sharing Options
When you click Share, you’ll see four options:
1. Private (Default)
Your portfolio is private by default. Only you can see it while logged into your account.
2. Public
Switching to Public makes your portfolio accessible to anyone via a URL like:
authory.com/your-name
You can:
Edit the URL slug
Share it with anyone
Allow search engines to index it
Connect Your Own Domain Instead of using an authory.com URL, you can connect your own domain. This allows you to: Use a fully branded URL Maintain consistency with your personal website (Authory provides a tutorial for domain setup inside the dashboard.)
3. Password Protect
You can make your portfolio publicly accessible, but require a password to view it.
Visitors need to enter the password once and can then browse your entire portfolio freely.
Important:
Password-protected portfolios are not indexed by search engines.
4. Secret Link
The Secret Link option creates:
A unique, unguessable URL
Not indexed by search engines
Fully private unless someone has the link
This is ideal for:
Confidential job applications
Private client sharing
Controlled access
You can still edit the link slug to make it cleaner, while keeping it unindexed.
Sharing a Collection (Standalone Mini Portfolio)
Collections can appear:
As tabs on your main portfolio
Or as standalone mini portfolios
To share a collection standalone:
Go to Collections overview
Open the collection
Click the Share button (top right)
You can:
Generate a standalone share link
Password protect it
Edit the link slug
Choose whether the collection should appear on your public portfolio
This is especially useful when:
Applying for a job
Sending curated work samples
Sharing niche expertise privately
The collection link works independently from your main portfolio.
Sharing an Individual Work Sample
You can also share a single piece of content directly.
Step-by-step:
Go to your Content Archive
Open a work sample
Click the Share button
Generate a share link
(Optional) Edit the URL slug
What gets shared:
The Authory backup version of the content
Cleanly formatted
Fully branded
This is ideal for sending one specific work sample (e.g. article).
